Describe the typical structure of the Performance Profile Wheel (PPW).

• A. The PPW is a wheel with 8 sections, each having 10 segments, and a sub-factor written on the outside of each section.
• B. The PPW is a line chart with 8 data points.
• C. The PPW is a wheel with 6 sections and 8 segments, with no sub-factors.
• D. The PPW is a grid with 8x8 cells.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that a Performance Profile Wheel is a circular, multi-section chart used to visually map several performance areas. It is laid out as a wheel with eight equal sections around the circle, and each section is subdivided into ten radial segments that represent a 0–10 scale of performance for that area. A sub-factor is written on the outside of each section to specify what aspect within that dimension is being assessed. This setup lets you quickly see which areas are strong and which need work, all in one glance. The other formats—line charts, fewer sections, or a grid—don’t give the same circular, multi-dimension view, so they aren’t typical of the PPW.
