<

03 · Accounts & Participation

Protect your access. Participate honestly.

Some BrainSeeds services require an account, while assessment quality depends on authentic participation and responsible use.

04

Accounts & Registration

Certain BrainSeeds services may require you to create an account. When registering or using an account, you agree to provide information that is accurate and reasonably current.

Keep your account information accurate and reasonably current.
Keep your login credentials confidential.
Do not share credentials with unauthorised persons.

06

Answer questions honestly and to the best of your ability.
Do not deliberately manipulate assessment responses.
Do not use inappropriate assistance during an assessment.
Do not have another person complete an assessment on your behalf.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include requesting a reassessment, reviewing the circumstances, withholding or qualifying a report, suspending access, or taking another appropriate action.

04 · Assessment Services

Useful insights, not absolute conclusions.

BrainSeeds assessments are designed for specific purposes. Their results can support understanding and development, but they should be interpreted within the context of the individual.

01

Assessment Services

Depending on the service or programme, BrainSeeds may provide assessments covering different aspects of strengths, preferences, behaviour, interests and development.

Intelligence

Talent

Personality

Learning preferences

Behaviour

Interests

Career preferences

Skills & competencies

Development needs

Each assessment has a specific purpose. The methodology and intended use can differ depending on the assessment or programme selected.

02

Understanding Assessment Results

Assessment results may provide useful insights into areas such as strengths, interests, learning preferences and developmental opportunities.

Identify potential strengths and areas for development.
Understand interests and learning preferences.
Explore behavioural tendencies and possible development pathways.
Support personal, educational or professional development discussions.

Results are not guarantees. Assessment insights should not be treated as definitive statements about a person's future, abilities or identity.

Academic & Career

Not a guarantee of academic or career success.

Clinical

Not a medical, psychiatric or clinical diagnosis.

Future Outcomes

Not a guarantee of employment, income or a particular outcome.

Every person is more than a score. BrainSeeds assessment insights are intended to support understanding, exploration and development rather than define the individual.

05 · Interpretation & Outcomes

Context matters. Outcomes are never promised.

Human potential is complex. BrainSeeds assessment results and recommendations should therefore be understood alongside the circumstances and context of the individual.

08

Every Assessment Has Limitations

Assessment outcomes can be influenced by many factors. Results should be considered together with relevant contextual information rather than viewed in isolation.

Age & Language Age and language can influence assessment responses and outcomes.

Education & Experience Educational background and previous experience may affect responses.

Motivation Motivation and engagement can influence participation and results.

Environment The surrounding environment may affect assessment performance.

Cultural Context Cultural context and familiarity with assessment formats can matter.

Personal Circumstances Individual circumstances and the timing of an assessment may affect outcomes.

Response Quality The quality and authenticity of responses can influence results.

Assessment Conditions The conditions under which an assessment is completed may contribute to differences.

A person is more than an assessment score. Assessment outcomes represent information gathered through a particular assessment process at a particular point in time.

09

No Guarantee of Outcomes

BrainSeeds services are intended to support informed decision-making, personal growth and development. They do not guarantee a particular result or future outcome.

Academic admission or educational opportunities.
Success in examinations or educational performance.
Employment, promotion or a particular salary.
Business or career success.
Achievement of a particular personal objective.

Recommendations are guidance. Recommendations are intended to provide development and decision-support information and should not be treated as guarantees of future outcomes.

Development Use insights as one part of an ongoing development process.

Decision-Making Consider relevant contextual information when making important decisions.

Every person is more than a score.

BrainSeeds aims to provide useful information for exploration, understanding and development while recognising the limitations of assessment-based insights.

07 · AI & Professional Boundaries

Technology can assist. It does not define the individual.

BrainSeeds may use technology-assisted analysis and recommendations, while recognising the importance of appropriate human oversight and clear professional boundaries.

13

AI & Technology-Assisted Services

Depending on the service, BrainSeeds may use AI, algorithms, analytics and automated or semi-automated technologies.

Assessment analysis and pattern identification.
Personalised recommendations and learning pathways.
Report generation.
Progress analysis.
Other technology-enabled services.

AI supports the BrainSeeds experience. AI-generated or AI-assisted information is not automatically infallible and does not define the individual.

Responsible use AI-assisted services should be understood together with the BrainSeeds Responsible AI & Ethical Assessment Policy.

14

Human Oversight

Where appropriate, BrainSeeds may use human review or professional oversight when interpreting results, developing recommendations or delivering other services.

Human review may apply to interpretation.
Professional oversight may be included where appropriate.
Recommendations may involve human input depending on the service.
The level of oversight can differ between products and programmes.

Check the specific programme Service or programme documentation may specify whether professional guidance or human review is included.

15

Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

Unless expressly stated otherwise, BrainSeeds services are not a substitute for professional medical, clinical, psychological, psychiatric, educational or legal advice.

Consult a qualified professional where clinical advice is required.
Do not treat assessment results as a clinical diagnosis.
Do not use results as the sole basis for significant medical decisions.
Do not use results as the sole basis for significant mental-health or clinical decisions.

Professional judgement remains important BrainSeeds provides assessment and development information within the scope of the relevant service; professional advice should be obtained where appropriate.

Technology should expand understanding — not replace human judgement.

BrainSeeds combines technology-assisted capabilities with appropriate boundaries around interpretation, oversight and professional decision-making.

08 · Institutional & Organisational Use

Different environments. The same responsibility.

BrainSeeds may support schools, colleges, universities, educational institutions, companies and organisations through separate service arrangements.
