Reading your profile

A little context makes a difference.

A useful profile gives you something to reflect on. Here is how to read the scales and keep their limits in view.

What the pieces mean.

The report is a fictional example. Its positions demonstrate the format and do not come from an assessment of you.

What you seeHow to read it
CategoryRelated dimensions, such as thinking or connection. Read them together rather than treating a category as one score.
DimensionOne particular tendency. The two endpoints describe different preferences; neither is a better result.
Position markerWhere the fictional example sits. It is not a percentile or a comparison with a population.
MidpointThe visual middle. It can leave room for both preferences; it does not mean “average person.”
Highlighted spanDirection from the middle to the marker, not confidence or an uncertainty interval.
DetailsAn interpretation and the circumstances that could change it.
Missing informationAn unsupported conclusion should be shown as unavailable, not as zero or a middle position.

Read it alongside your life.

  1. 01

    Notice what feels familiar.

    Think of a specific moment when a description fits, and one when it does not.

  2. 02

    Look across a category.

    A preference for company can sit alongside a preference for focused conversation. Related tendencies need not all point the same way.

  3. 03

    Make room for change.

    Responsibilities, relationships, and experience can change how a tendency shows up.
