# Check-ins › How we calculate results

## This articles shows how we calculate results

Once a Check-in is completed we summarise the results into a simple overview of where you stand relative to the position you checked in to.

![Screenshot+2022-07-27+at+15.51.14](https://support.careerminds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screenshot+2022-07-27+at+15_51_14.png?width=688&height=238&name=Screenshot+2022-07-27+at+15_51_14.png)

  

The percentage completeness is calculated based on the total of all the skill levels required for position and the total of the levels from the check-in.

#### **Example**

Jane is a Senior Software Engineer. There are 5 skills required for the position:

- Communication, level 3
- Writing code, level 4
- Leadership, level 2
- Mentoring, level 3
- Thinking outside the box, level 3

Total skill levels required: 3+4+2+3+3 = 15

In her most recent check-in she received the following:

- Communication, meeting (level 3)
- Writing code, exceeding (level 5)
- Leadership, meeting (level 2)
- Mentoring, working towards (level 2)
- Thinking outside the box, working towards (level 2)

Total skill levels received in check-in 3+5+2+2+2 = 14

*Therefore we show that Jane is 6.7% ((1/15) x 100) away from the role of Senior Software Engineer.*

#### **Comparing Roles Example**

On the check-in page you can compare your result from the check-in with different roles. In some cases this can provide surprising outcomes e.g.

Jane compares her check-in result with the role of Staff Software Engineer.

There are 7 skills required for the Staff Software Engineer.

- Communication, level 4
- Writing code, level 5
- Leadership, level 3
- Mentoring, level 4
- Thinking outside the box, level 4
- Software Architecture, level 3
- Debugging, level 3

Total skill levels required: 4+5+3+4+4+3+3 = 26

Total skill levels received in check-in 3+5+2+2+2 = 14

*Therefore we show that Jane is 46% ((12/26) x 100) away from the role of Staff Software Engineer.*

Note that Jane is shown as 46% away because there are 2 skills she has not checked-in against. In reality she probably has a certain level of competence in these skills however this is not reflected in the difference between her current level and Staff Software Engineer level.
