How do scores work and how can I interpret them?
How do scores work and how can I interpret them?
We use two different scoring mechanisms to help you make sense of the collected data in the dashboard:
1. Module Scores
Each applicant's module responses are summarized with a single score, the Module Score. The Module Score always ranges from 0 to 100. Let's look at how to interpret it:
Here is how the module score is calculated:
Here is how the module score is calculated:
Each module consists of several statements that applicants rate on a scale of 1-7. After collecting the responses, we compare each applicant's average result against the norm group results. We calculate what is known as "sten scores". In the final step, the sten scores are converted to a 0-100 scale.
Each norm group is comprised of all respondents who have answered the module. Each new module is normed against a sample of at least 200 participants. All initial samples are international, gender-balanced, and consist only of white-collar workers employed full-time. More information about our norm groups is available upon request.
2. Job Fit Scores
The job fit score summarizes how the applicant's job fit compares to that of all other applicants. It always ranges from 0-100. The job fit score is calculated by averaging the module scores. Each module score contributes equally to the job fit score.
