WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Personal Wellbeing Index – Adult (PWI-A) Test - Symptoms and Signs

well-being

This brief self-report measure is used to assess perceived satisfaction across key domains of adult subjective quality of life. The Personal Wellbeing Index - Adult (PWI-A) provides a global indicator of current personal wellbeing based on the respondent’s ratings.

Developed by Robert A. Cummins, it consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Responses are commonly summarized into an overall score that can support screening, baseline documentation, and monitoring of change over time in clinical or research contexts when interpreted alongside other sources of information.

The Personal Wellbeing Index - Adult (PWI-A) is intended to capture the individual’s own appraisal rather than an external standard, and results should be considered in relation to relevant cultural and situational factors.
