For each indicator, the results have been converted to a score on a scale from 1 to 10. Subsequently, a score was given to each dimension and the eight resulting scores have been combined into one index: the Personal Well-being Index. Each dimension counts equally in the index, which runs from 1 to 10. A score of 7 or higher in the PWI means a high level of personal well-being (Van Beuningen et al., 2015).
