Interpreting Scores*
The highest corrected score is 25
per PECs item. The closer you are
to 25 means you
are strong in that particular PECs
item.
The average and median score is
12.5.
A score below 12.5 means a
challenge or opportunity for
improvement in that
particular PECs item. A below
the average score calls for
change of behavioral
pattern.
Marking on the extreme left side
(below 12) requires self-reflection
and figuring out
changes needed to improve one’s
personality. The PECs profile is
dynamic, meaning
it is not set in stone and whatever
challenges you may have could
still be improved
on. Your PECs profile will be
technically progressive once these
challenges are faced
with self-confidence and are
aligned to your business plan. In
a larger sense, a
winning personality is
considered a key factor whether
you are fit to start or
maintain a business.
