Wellbeing questions
Unlike the questions B01 to B62 which ask people to rate their agreement from strongly agree to strongly disagree
the four wellbeing questions use a 11 point scale

and where 10 is equivalent to completely for example completely satisfied or completely anxious
For questions W01 W02 and W03 the percent positive is the proportion answering 7 8 9 or 10 to each question
W01 Overall how satisfied are you with your life nowadays?
