Welcome: What These Results Are (and Aren’t)

Your Wonderlic Develop results aren’t about performance.
They’re about how easy or effortful it is for you to demonstrate certain behaviors at work.

  • High scores = traits that come naturally and take less effort

  • Low scores = traits that may require more energy, planning, or support

Think of it like a battery:

The more effort something takes, the faster it drains your energy. These insights help you work smarter and grow intentionally.

Common Questions

Q: Is a low score bad?

A: Not at all. It just means the behavior may take more intention or support to sustain. It’s a signal of effort, not ability - and effort can be managed or supported.

Q: What does a moderate score mean?

A: Moderate scores fall in the middle - these traits might feel easier or harder depending on the situation.

You may be able to demonstrate them effectively in some contexts but find them more draining or inconsistent in others.

They’re a great place to focus if you want to grow without working completely against your natural tendencies.

Q: Can I improve over time?

A: Yes - Develop helps you grow by making effort visible and giving you tools to build new habits. Many traits can be strengthened with intention, structure, or support.

Q: Do I need to do something right away?

A: Not necessarily. But even a small next step - like setting one goal - can turn insight into action and help you make the most of your results.
