Scores & Benchmarks
Numerical results that summarize dimensions (scores) and compare them to reference ranges or typical patterns (benchmarks).
What This Really Means
Benchmarks are meant to add context, not judgment.
They can be population-based (global/regional) or model-based (archetype prototypes).
Because cultural norms affect how people answer sensitive questions, benchmarks should be explained clearly and used alongside uncertainty notes and personalized interpretation.
Examples
A “communication comfort” score with a typical range
A percentile showing how common a preference is in a region
A benchmark comparing a user to an archetype prototype profile.
