Inferred from profile

An amber tag on a key finding. It means we spotted a pattern across your answers, but you did not describe this particular thing yourself.

Applies across the UK

"Inferred from profile" is the more cautious of the two tags on a key finding. It means the finding was put together from how your answers line up across different dimensions, rather than from something you wrote or said directly. It is a suggestion worth checking against what you know, not a report of something you told us.

Because nothing specific was quoted, findings with this tag are written in careful language, using words like "might" and "may", and the examples underneath are headed "This might look like This might look like A heading inside a key finding. What follows is examples of how this pattern could show up on an ordinary day, not things we know happened.

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 ".

It is a pattern in the numbers, and you are the one who knows whether it fits Epilepsy Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and causes seizures.
