How to interpret feedback:

The report
So you’ve got your feedback report. But what does it mean? Each behaviour assessed is shown as a 1-10 spectrum. You’ll quickly see where you fall on that spectrum. Remember: there’s no better or worse. It’s just you.
Norm groups
To build your unique report, we compare your results to what’s called a representative “norm group”. This is a broad, varied selection of others who’ve taken our assessment. So don’t be alarmed if you think your feedback report is off the mark – it’s just putting you in the context of a very large group.
