What do the assessment results mean?
Each skill area gets a percentage and a label. 70% or above is Independent, 50 to 69% is Supported, and below 50% is Needs Support. The percentage is how often the answers said that skill already shows up.
Where the percentage comes from
Every question is answered on a five-point scale, from Never to Always. A skill area is scored against the highest it could have reached, so 100% would mean Always to every question in that area. A higher percentage means the skill shows up more of the time, in the view of whoever answered.
The three labels
- Independent, 70% and above.
- Supported, 50 to 69%.
- Needs Support, below 50%.
The rest of the page
Progress Snapshot sits at the top of every results page. Overall is the average of the skill areas, with a chart once there is a second assessment of the same type. What moved names the areas that rose or fell since the previous one, once there are three of the same type to compare. Focus areas names the lowest-scoring areas as the place to start, and changes to All Areas / Well Developed when every area reads Independent.
Key Strengths, Priority Development Areas, the supports to consider on each skill area and the Using These Insights section are written for that profile by Advocate360, from the answers given. They describe one person's view on one day, so read them as a starting point for a conversation rather than a verdict.
