Rate each dimension on a scale of 1 to 10 — where 1 means this area feels completely misaligned, and 10 means it reflects exactly what you want. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong responses.
Move each slider to reflect where you are right now — not where you think you should be, or where you’d like to be. The map is most useful when it’s accurate.
