What are the Commonly Asked Questions About Acumen?

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about the Acumen science.

What do I do with a low reliability score?

  • Contact the respondent and ask
    • Did you understand the questionnaire’s instructions?
    • Were you interrupted while completing the questionnaire?
    • Were you in a normal state of mind when you completed the questionnaire?
  • If you feel the respondent understood the instructions and did not try to outsmart the tool, then proceed with a debrief to bring clarity to their responses.
  • If you feel the respondent did not understand the instructions, did not take it in his/her native language, or was interrupted or distracted- then ask them to retake the questionnaire. Make sure they are clear on how to rank the statements in each section from Value Most to Value Least, and Agree to Disagree.
