	When used by end users who do not understand the adaptive profiles, a report helps convey their meaning. The narrative is built by analyzing the factors, their interactions, and the three graphs, as certified users can do. However, reports can't adapt their narrative to a context they don't know yet; a context that is nuanced and constantly changing. A report cannot replace feedback sessions, which allow for ~~analysing~~ the context, adapting the narrative, empathizing, asking and answering questions in real time.

	Reports cannot provide the conciseness that adaptive profiles do. Personality assessment narratives are typically repetitive, ~~using~~ the same information to analyze various traits and types (Leadership style? Decision making style? ... ). Important nuances cannot be memorized and used along with other information. Reports don’t allow easy comparisons; adaptive profiles do.		Reports cannot provide the conciseness that adaptive profiles do. Personality assessment narratives are typically repetitive, reusing the same information to analyze various traits and types (Leadership style? Decision-making style? ...). Important nuances cannot be memorized and used along with other information. Reports don’t allow easy comparisons; adaptive profiles do.

	Measures of traits presented with scatter charts or pies distort the result within their continuum, which usually starts from 0 and goes up to a higher value, such as 10. The distortion is even worse for typologies, with no intensity at all ~~being measured~~, which doesn't reflect common observations. Measures of factors in the adaptive profiles display along a continuum, with a standard deviation scale, and don't have the above-mentioned issues. Measures on the extremes to the left and to the right, at four standard deviations from the mean, are so rare (around 0.006%) that capping them doesn't affect their meaning and use.

	For individuals, the adaptive profile provides a more refined understanding of how they can optimize their performance and interactions. For managers, the profile provides solutions to the issues it identifies, helps them understand the person in context, and adjust their methods with the other person’s perspective and resources in mind.

	The conciseness of the adaptive profiles has proven its advantage ~~for~~ efficiently learning, memorizing, and using ~~the~~ information on people and jobs whenever needed: What’s expected in the job that can be found in people? What energy does it take to adapt to the job or a situation? With the adaptive profiles, the comparisons and answers are immediate. Each of the four factors adds meaning to the three others. The four factors combine in the profile, bringing many nuances that would be impossible with a different representation.

	Our brain interprets symbols by processing them instantly with ~~all~~ the information connected to them, ~~along with~~ other information and ~~their~~ context. As we have studied at GRI, the data conveyed by the profiles rapidly becomes extensive. With the profiles, once learned, users can enhance the quality of their judgment whenever necessary, which, with people, can be constant, especially in management. Once learned, the ~~visual~~ condensed representation is the most powerful aspect of the measure.

	Each graph shows four factors (the four small dots in each graph) and scales (the rectangles above and below the graphs) that indicate how intense and predictable a person is. An adaptive profile represents a person’s way of thinking, feeling, and acting. Depending on your experience of other measures and concepts, the measures can also be understood as a representation of a person’s mindset, preferences, and (behavioral) values. A profile has intensity: people express their behaviors more or less visibly and more or less intensely. What is measured is not personality traits or types, although those concepts can be inferred from the adaptive profiles, but rather how people function from a behavioral, cognitive, and affective standpoint.
