This project aims to explore, through an interdisciplinary work, a new survey methodology that allows collecting, processing, and visualizing information about subjective well-being, transforming complex data into graphics that are easy to read and understand. The methodology consists of a survey built upon a set of questions and a radial graph used to color the answers, complemented with a technology that automates the processing and visualization of the information collected.
The project is based on a single radial graph that fulfills a double function: it is used to collect the data, and once it is completed it works as an easy way to interpret it. Each of the triangles comprising the graph corresponds to a question and is arranged in such a way that it is possible to interpret subjective well-being in terms of a context favorable or adverse and feelings of malaise or well-being.
