# Understanding you Report

### Who gave feedback

Your feedback is grouped by the relationship each rater has to you:

* **Self:** your own ratings.
* **Manager:** the person you report to.
* **Peer:** colleagues at your level.
* **Direct Report:** people who report to you.
* **Other:** anyone outside your reporting line, such as a colleague in another part of the organization.
* **All Raters:** the average across all your raters, excluding Self.

### How to read the charts

<figure><img src="https://2141019757-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBpBg0aV8RJEUOP2B5Hh4%2Fuploads%2F9QdLUeSTVDo34Tzgx10u%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=7fb93406-22e3-4132-9d9e-a5f8673b9613" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Every score sits on a **1 to 5 scale**. The bar and the number to its right show the same score.

* The short vertical line on each bar is the **benchmark;** the typical score for TalentMap's comparison group.
* The **Benchmark** column tells you how you compare: **▲** above the benchmark, **▼** below it.
* **n/a** means no benchmark exists for that group.
* A **blank** means the group isn't benchmarked, and your own **Self** score is never benchmarked.

On the **radar chart**, each group traces a ring around the wheel. The further a point sits from the centre, the higher the score.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Benchmarks won't always appear.** Benchmark markers and the Benchmark column show only when a benchmark has been set up for your assessment. When there is none, your report shows your self-and-others scores on their own.
{% endhint %}

### Key terms&#xD;

* **Strengths:** your highest-rated areas.
* **Development areas:** your lowest-rated areas, and the best places to focus. The single lowest carries a **LOWEST RATED** tag.
* **Blind spot:** an area where you rated yourself higher than others did. The figure shows the size of that gap.
* **Rater Knowledge:** how well each group feels they know you. A higher score means more confidence in the results.
* **Comments:** shown only when enough people comment, so no single person can be identified.
* **Benchmark:** how your scores compare to TalentMap's benchmark group.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why some feedback may be hidden.** Comments and group scores appear only once enough people have responded, so no individual can be identified. See Anonymity and Confidentiality in 360.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.talentmap.com/knowledge-base/360-feedback/understanding-you-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
