Understanding the Navigate Transition Assessment methodology
Your overall Transition Capacity Score can range from 0 to 1,000, calculated by multiplying your three dimension scores together. This multiplication approach reveals something crucial: your lowest score becomes your constraint - the primary factor limiting your overall capacity for successful transition.
Your drive and energy for the transition. Do you have the emotional fuel to push through challenges, or do you feel drained and stuck?
Your capacity to acquire new skills and knowledge. Are you actively developing what you need, or struggling to build competence in unfamiliar territory?
Your sense of belonging and self in the new context. Do you see yourself fitting in, or are you questioning whether this is really "you"?
You answer 15 questions (5 per dimension) using a 0-10 scale, where:
Your five responses in each dimension are simply averaged:
Score = Average of 5 responses
Your three dimension scores are multiplied together to create your Transition Capacity Score:
Motivation × Learning × Identity = Transition Capacity Score
Example: If your scores are Motivation = 7.5, Learning = 6.0, Identity = 8.0:
7.5 × 6.0 × 8.0 = 360
CRITICAL: A score of zero in ANY dimension means your total capacity score is ZERO—regardless of how strong your other dimensions are. This is because the scores are multiplied together (anything × 0 = 0).
Motivation: 10.0
Learning: 10.0
Identity: 0.0
Score: 0
Motivation: 10.0
Learning: 10.0
Identity: 1.0
Score: 100
Even 1.0 is infinitely better than 0.0!
Because your constraint matters more than your strengths.
Multiplication reveals what addition hides. Here's why this matters:
Motivation: 9.0
Learning: 9.0
Identity: 2.0
Score: 162
Motivation: 7.0
Learning: 7.0
Identity: 7.0
Score: 343
Scenario B scores HIGHER despite having lower individual scores!
Key Insight: Having one very low dimension (your constraint) dramatically reduces your overall capacity, even if your other dimensions are strong. This is exactly what people experience in real transitions - you can have all the motivation and learning in the world, but if you don't feel like you belong (Identity = 2.0), your transition will struggle.
Your constraint is simply your lowest-scoring dimension. This is what's holding you back most.
We use a traffic light system to show you where to focus:
Why This Matters:
Motivation: 8.0
Learning: 8.0
Identity: 3.0
Score: 192
Motivation: 8.0
Learning: 8.0
Identity: 5.0 (+2.0)
Score: 320 (+67%!)
Compare that to improving your strengths:
Motivation: 8.0
Learning: 8.0
Identity: 3.0
Score: 192
Motivation: 10.0 (+2.0)
Learning: 10.0 (+2.0)
Identity: 3.0
Score: 300 (+56%)
A +2 point improvement in your constraint has more impact than +4 points spread across your strengths!
Taking the assessment multiple times lets you see how your dimensions and overall score change as you work on your transition. You'll be able to see:
Remember: The goal isn't perfection across all three dimensions. The goal is to identify and address what's truly holding you back, so you can build the capacity you need to successfully navigate your transition.
