Interpret Your 360 Results

Torch provides key 360 metrics that give you insight into your leadership strengths and challenges as perceived by you and your colleagues. The 360 results are broken down into two primary sections, the Summary and Details tabs. Every data point included in the results is organized by section and outlined in detail below.

Summary

Upon accessing your 360 results, the Summary tab will open by default.

Strengths

A high-level summary of the items in the 360 assessment that were rated highest by feedback providers. Strengths are listed in descending order by rating. To qualify as a strength, an item's average rating must be at least 4 out of 5. 

Hidden Strengths

Individual items in the 360 assessment are identified as hidden strengths if your self-rating for the item is lower than the average colleague rating by at least 0.75, and the average colleague rating is greater than 4 out of 5. For each hidden strength, this section displays the difference between your self-rating score and the average colleague rating.

Challenges

A high-level summary of the items in the 360 assessment that were rated lowest by feedback providers. Challenges are listed in ascending order by rating (i.e., lowest item first, then second lowest, and so on). To quality as a challenge, an item's average rating must be no higher than 4 out of 5.

Hidden Opportunities

Individual items in the 360 assessment are identified as hidden opportunities if your self-rating for the item is higher than the average colleague rating by at least 0.75, and the average colleague rating is lower than 3.75 out of 5. For each hidden opportunity, this section displays the difference between your self-rating score and the average colleague rating.

Score Comparison by Domain

This section compares your self-assessment scores to how colleagues rated you across each of the leadership domains. Includes a graph illustrating the gaps and alignments between your perceptions and your colleagues' perceptions.

Details

Click the Details tab to view your average scores and individual statement scores by leadership domain, as well as your written feedback.

Average Score by Relationship

When the 360 results are released, an average self-rating score and colleague rating score is created for each leadership domain. Depending on your program's configuration, the colleague score will either use an average of all colleague scores (most common), or be broken down by colleague category, such as peer, manager, or direct report.

Individual Statements

Expand each leadership domain section to see how you've rated yourself and how your colleagues have rated you for each individual statement within that domain.

Written Feedback

In addition to providing feedback on each statement within each leadership domain, your colleagues may be asked to provide written feedback to specific questions. This written, or qualitative, feedback adds valuable context to your 360 scores, and provides a foundation upon which to create learning goals that will be of greatest impact for growth.
