Development area

Development area is the label a dimension gets when its score reaches 50 out of 100 but stays below the Priority area Priority area One of four labels we put on each dimension. It means your answers in that area came out at the high end overall, so it is the place we would start looking for support. Read the full definition of Priority area bar, which is 67 on most dimensions. Roughly, that is "Somewhat" up to just under "Quite a lot".

The only thing separating this from an Opportunity area Opportunity area One of four labels we put on each dimension. It means your answers in that area came out in the lower middle of the scale. Some things came up, but not strongly. Read the full definition of Opportunity area is where that one score fell. Opportunity area is below 50, Development area is at or above it. There is no separate test, no different questions and no extra evidence, so a single point either way moves the label. Treat the two as neighbours rather than as two different kinds of thing.

As with all four labels, this is a level rather than a tally. It says your answers in this area came out around the middle to upper part of the scale. It does not count how many separate things came up.

Like all four labels, it describes what you told us What you told us A heading inside a key finding. What follows should be your own words, or a close version of them, taken from what you wrote while filling in the profiler. Read the full definition of What you told us about the last month or so. It is a picture of strengths and needs, not a diagnosis.
