The four ONS wellbeing questions in Graduate Outcomes
The four personal wellbeing questions the Office for National Statistics uses, which the UK Graduate Outcomes survey also asks every graduate on a 0 to 10 scale. Two ask people to judge their life as a whole and two ask about yesterday's mood, which shifts with the day the survey is answered. Programme leads can use it to read graduate wellbeing data with the right caution. Koji can follow these questions up in short alumni interviews to find out what sits behind a score.
