IF YOU WANT A BROADER VIEW

Combine Relevant Sources of Insight

Assessment findings can be considered together with educational context, career guidance and other relevant information to create a more complete understanding.

i
IMPORTANT

An assessment is a source of insight, not a complete definition of a person.

Linguistic Intelligence findings should be considered alongside relevant educational, developmental and career guidance information.
