A percentile is not a diagnosis
A percentile describes performance relative to a reference group on a particular measure. It does not, by itself, explain why the result occurred.

Psychometric literacy
A percentile describes performance relative to a reference group on a particular measure. It does not, by itself, explain why the result occurred.
Questionnaires can identify concerns worth exploring. Context, interview, history, impairment and alternative explanations still matter.
Scores are estimates influenced by measurement precision, conditions and the person’s engagement or state. Interpretation should not treat small differences as exact boundaries.
Convergence can strengthen a conclusion. Disagreement can reveal context, source perspective or a question that needs further examination.
Begin with the referral question, then follow how history, methods, results and interpretation support the conclusions and recommendations. No isolated score or section should be treated as the whole assessment.
Ask what the central findings mean in everyday life, which recommendations matter most now and what remains uncertain. Organizations receiving a report determine their own documentation, eligibility and accommodation requirements.
