How are result percentages and levels calculated?

Alongside each score, you will see a percentage and a level (such as "High" or "Neutral"). This figure allows you to compare evaluations and surveys at a glance, regardless of the scoring range each one uses.

 

How the percentage is normalized

Evaluations or surveys can score from 1 to 5, from 0 to 10, or even with negative values. To make them comparable, the system converts any score to a scale of 0% to 100%.

Formula: Percentage = (score obtained − minimum possible) / (maximum possible − minimum possible) × 100

 


Example — Evaluation with a 1–5 scale and 5 questions

The total minimum is 5 points (5 questions × 1) and the maximum is 25 points (5 questions × 5). The overall evaluation average is 17.75 points.

Operation Result
Score obtained − minimum (17.75 − 5) 12.75
Total range (25 − 5) 20
Percentage (12.75 / 20 × 100) 63.8%

⚠️ Why is the minimum 5 and not 1? Because there are 5 questions, each with a minimum value of 1. The total minimum for the evaluation is 5 × 1 = 5 points.

 
 

Interpretation levels

The percentage is automatically classified into 5 levels. These apply to any figure that shows a percentage: question averages, total scores, department averages, etc.

Level Percentage range Range width
Very high 85% - 100% 15 points
High 60% - 84.99% 25 points
Neutral 40% - 59.99% 20 points
Low 15% - 39.99% 25 points
Very low 0% - 14.99% 15 points


For example, if the overall evaluation average is 63.8%, the level is High.
