Read sample excerpts from Narrative’s reports:

When assessing personality, it is important to remember that there is no “good” or “bad” score. Instead, the Narrative Big Five Assessment looks at the scale as an indicator of strengths. A score may present a strength or challenge, depending on the situation. Just because an individual scores on the left end of the resilience scale does not mean that they are unable to manage stress, rather we observe that those scoring left on the resilience scale are often excellent in customer-service roles where they take the concerns and experience of the customer very seriously. And, where someone may score far-right on the resilience scale, indicating a calm, confident and optimistic personality, they may be less suited to a customer facing role and more suited for positions requiring rational thought – e.g. a pilot or surgeon.
