  23. Selection Report A partial excerpt from a report describing the personality implications of the respondent’s results on the competency of In-Depth Problem Solving. Respondent scores falling in the green range indicate areas of strength or “fit” with the competency. Scores falling in the red or yellow zones indicate areas of concern. www.assess.co.nz

The “green” zone indicates desirable ranges while “white“ zones suggest areas for improvement.
