Reading your results: profile, compatibility and relationship quality
Read your results in this order: your way of working, how it meets the management you experience, relationship quality, then your overall lived experience. These readings complement each other; none should erase the others.
Your profile: a combination of five reference points
The radar shows five components that add up to 100%. A dominant component indicates greater proximity to one reference point; it does not describe the whole person. A mixed profile may be the most faithful result, not a problem to fix.
Preferences describe the ways of working you favour in the situations presented. They do not measure competence, professional worth or a fixed personality.
Compatibility: return to the specific differences
The index compares your ten preferences with ten behaviours you experience from this manager. A high percentage means proximity on this framework; it does not guarantee a good relationship. A lower percentage invites you to look at the dimensions that differ.
Illustrative example: a strong preference for autonomy may meet frequent approval requirements. The useful information is that specific mismatch and its context, not a label of bad manager. A compatibility score of 60% is neither a probability of success nor a threshold of normality.
Quality and overall experience: keep both separate
Respect, Support, Reliability and Consideration describe relationship quality. The overall lived-experience rating summarises how you feel about the relationship. These measures do not enter the compatibility formula.
Do not dismiss a low respect signal because the styles appear compatible. Equally, different preferences do not by themselves demonstrate poor relationship quality.
Insights: a focused explanation, or no claim
A relationship insight must reflect a specific difference in the correct direction. The product may show fewer insights when the information does not support a sufficiently specific interpretation. No insight is not a certificate that everything is fine.
To explore further, choose a situation you actually experienced in situational support. Separate what you observed from the explanation you are considering. An option is a possibility to adapt to the context, not a prescription.
Compare over time without inventing causation
History compares assessment cycles within the same continuous relationship. If you redo your personal profile, the product flags that change: compatibility may then shift for more than one reason. Previous results retain the parameters used to calculate them.
A change after a conversation does not prove the conversation caused it. Context, assignments and expressed preferences may also have changed.
