What does a WLBM score mean?
If somebody has given you a WLBM score and not explained it, put it in below. This reads it against the instrument's own published table. You do not have to take anything.
The full published table
These ranges come from the instrument's own scoring documentation rather than from us. They describe groups of people, not individuals.
| Score | Interpretation | What it suggests |
|---|---|---|
| 18 – 39 | High Integrator | Work and life are one fluid existence. Thrives in environments where they can work at 10 PM and run errands at 10 AM. Highly prone to burnout if they cannot set any limits. |
| 40 – 68 | Cyclical / Flexible | Alters boundaries based on the season. Can integrate during a major product launch, but segment during a vacation. |
| 69 – 90 | Strict Segmenter | The "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" profile. Work stays at work. If an employer calls them on a Sunday, they will feel deeply violated and consider quitting. Highly protective of personal peace. |
Why a number on its own is not much use
A total tells you where a set of answers landed on a scale. It does not say which questions produced it, and two people reaching the same total can be having quite different weeks. A score driven by sleep and appetite is not the same as an identical score driven by hopelessness, and the difference changes what tends to help.
A score near the edge of a range is also less meaningful than the label makes it sound. Thresholds are drawn to be useful across a population, not to mark a real line between two states, so a point either way can change the word without changing the person.
If you would rather answer the questions
The WLBM is available here in full, free and without an account, and answering it gives you the breakdown a bare total cannot: take the WLBM.
