Understanding Your Domain Scores

5–10: Developing | 11–15: Emerging | 16–20: Established | 21–25: Strong.

Interpreting Your MCI Scores

C4L Tafakari™ Meaningful Contribution Inventory (MCI) results are not fixed or constant. They reflect your current experience of meaningful contribution and may change over time as your roles, priorities, opportunities, values, strengths, and ways of contributing develop.

5–10 — Emerging: This area of meaningful contribution is currently less evident and may benefit from greater reflection and intentional development.
11–15 — Developing: This area is taking shape, with some positive indications alongside opportunities for further growth.
16–20 — Established: This area is clearly present and contributes meaningfully to how you currently experience and make a contribution.
21–25 — Strong: This area is a well-developed and consistent feature of your experience of meaningful contribution.
