Updates on c-score categories

The way we define Low / Moderate / High C-score categories has been updated across the Assessio platform. This affects visuals, interpretations, and candidate feedback pages.

Please read carefully — this is an important alignment with updated norms.

What has changed?

We have updated the C-score category boundaries used to define Low, Moderate/Average, and High scores across the platform.

Previous categorisation

• Low: 0–2
• Moderate: 3–7
• High: 8–10

New categorisation (now live)

• Low: 0–3
• Average: 4–6
• High: 7–10

This change applies consistently across the platform, including:

• Personality views
• Other C-score–based visuals
• Candidate feedback pages
• Internal interpretations relying on C-score groupings

Why are we making this change?

This update is part of the ongoing norming and assessment improvements.

The revised category boundaries:

• Better reflect the underlying score distributions
• Improve interpretive accuracy relative to the norm
• Reduce over-compression in the “moderate” range
• Create clearer separation between average and high expressions

In short:
The scores themselves have not changed — the interpretation bands have.

What does this mean in practice?

• A candidate with the same C-score may now:
  • Appear in a different category (e.g. from “moderate” to “high”)
  • Be positioned differently in visuals
• This does not indicate a change in the person’s results (competency scores) or profile
• It reflects a more accurate norm-based interpretation

What you should do

• Be aware of the new category boundaries when interpreting C-scores
• Avoid using the old 0–2 / 3–7 / 8–10 logic
