*While considering the scores kindly consider the Social desirability effect. Social Desirability is the tendency of an
individual to give socially correct responses.
Individuals with 4 and above scores might have not been entirely honest in their responses, hence the psychometric
evaluation might not represent your true behavioural competencies.
As you go through the report you might come across some areas of strengths, average performance and areas of
concern. The focus should be on improving the areas of concern. The following is an explanation for each of the
competencies, for further explanations you can contact us.
