Score 8 core human needs from 0 (starving) to 4 (full). The radar shows the gaps. Most anxiety shows up where one or two needs are quietly underfed.
A lot of "anxiety" is a signal that a need is starved — rest, safety, connection, competence, autonomy. Treating the symptom (calming tools) doesn't address the cause (need deficit). The radar makes the gap visible.
A spike inward on one or two needs is more informative than a generally low shape. Look for the deepest dip — that's the one your nervous system is shouting about.
Needs scoring is subjective. Different cultures and life stages weight needs differently. Use the map as a starting place, not a verdict.
That's a season, not a sentence. Burnout, grief, or depression can flatten the whole map. Pick the lowest — that's the lever.
Those are conditions for needs, not the needs themselves. Safety is the soil; the need is what grows in it.
