)or each of these thirteen factors, the report shows a score of 1 to 5 A preference score of 167 is low8 a preference score of /69 is a#erage8 and a score of :65 is high As these scores show your preferences, a low score does not mean you are unethical, "ut it does suggest that you should stop and consider this factor more consciously when deciding what;s right and doing the right thing
