Why no low, average, or high label? The supplied manual provides statistical norms for Flemish and Dutch workers. This public webpage does not apply those country-specific norms to visitors from other populations. Use the raw profile for reflection and consult an appropriately qualified professional when symptoms are persistent, severe, or affecting daily functioning.
