Drill into dimensions and trends

Benchmarks tell you where your organization stands; the dimension breakdown tells you why. This is the bottom half of a tool’s reporting view: heatmap, items, and trajectory.

Before you start

You need the org admin role, and your organization needs the Insights plan. Open the skill’s assessment report from Insights → Skills. See Use assessments reporting.

The dimension heatmap

The heatmap lists each dimension of the instrument with three columns:

• Self: the average self-assessment score.
• External: the average score from raters.
• Gap: the difference, classified as Blind Spot, Hidden Strength, or Aligned. See Understand benchmarks and gap analysis.

Cells are colored by the same factor bands used in individual reports (High Risk, Risk, Limiting, Growth, Strength, Success), so weak dimensions jump out without reading a single number. Expand a dimension to see its subscales, and break external scores out by rater type to see whether peers, direct reports, and managers agree.

Item-level drill-in

Open a dimension’s items to see scores question by question. Dimension averages can hide a split, one strong item propping up one weak one, and the item level is where the specific behavior behind a low score shows itself.

Score trajectory

The time series plots scores over time, so you can see whether an intervention moved the needle. Judge trends against submission volume: a month with three submissions swings more than a month with three hundred. Check the participant count behind a data point if it looks suspicious.

Filters

Every view on the page respects the filter bar:

• Date Range: limit to a time window.
• Scale: focus on specific dimensions.
• Rater Type: self only, or a specific external relationship.
• Cohort: one training group at a time. See Create and manage training cohorts.
• Demographic attributes: any attributes your organization has defined.

Start broad, then narrow one filter at a time so you know which cut changed the picture.
