What's inside
A complete framework for accurate interpretation
Every section is designed to be immediately actionable — before, during, and after your next talent committee.
What a score actually means
Tool quality, appropriate scope, relevance of the dimension measured, and usefulness for the decision at hand — the four foundations of a trustworthy score.
Recognizing a quality tool
Six questions to ask any assessment provider before relying on results: validity, reliability, norms, equity, practical use, and development process.
Interpretation before the report
The three sequential steps that change everything: understand role requirements, choose the right tool, then interpret with accuracy.
5 errors to recognize — and correct
Choosing tools before clarifying the role. Reading results without a reference frame. Using multiple tools without checking for distinctiveness. Each error has a concrete correction.
15-point verification checklist
Print and keep on hand. Four columns: before the assessment, before choosing the tool, before interpretation, before making the decision.
Self-assessments in every section
Five direct questions designed to help you evaluate your current practices — built to prompt concrete reflection, not just reading.
