How to read your results
Understand your four scores.
Your scores show which contributions you emphasized in this assessment. Compare them with each other, not with a pass or fail standard.
01Leading energy
The highest score — the energy currently most visible in how you are contributing.
02Supporting energy
The second-highest score — another contribution that is visible in your results.
03Less-visible energies
The remaining energies. Less visible does not mean absent, weak, or unavailable.
Where scores tie, the tie is preserved rather than forcing an artificial order.
What you receive
More than a score.
Your report explains your scores and offers questions and next steps to explore.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers.
What is FourEnergies™?
FourEnergies™ is an assessment that helps you understand how you contribute to your current work through four energies: Explorer, Builder, Connector, and Steward.
Is FourEnergies™ a personality assessment?
No. FourEnergies™ does not classify personality or fixed traits. It focuses on contribution in context — how different forms of energy are showing up in the work now.
How are the results interpreted?
Results are interpreted relatively rather than as pass/fail bands. The highest score is shown as the leading energy, the second as supporting, and the remaining two as less-visible energies. Ties are preserved rather than forced into a ranking.
What do I receive?
You receive four energy scores, a relative interpretation of leading, supporting and less-visible energies, and a detailed report designed to help you make sense of the pattern in practice.
How do I get access to an assessment?
Choose an assessment option and send an enquiry. Adaptivara will confirm the appropriate arrangement and pricing before access is assigned. The enquiry itself does not purchase an assessment or activate an account.
Can teams use FourEnergies™?
Yes. Team reports bring individual results together so people can discuss strengths, gaps in attention, handoffs, and what the work needs next.
