Hi, Cheryl, The purpose of the whiz-wheel in IOS6 as it now stands is to go to the previous and next rotor item. If you have your rotor set to headings, it will move between headings. If there is a screen that has buttons on it, and the rotor is set for buttons, it will go between those.
In this sense, it's not being unpredictable. It just depends where your rotor is set. Try dots 2-3 chord and dots 5-6 chord for previous and next rotor category to see which item the whiz wheel navigates to.
