# Assessment results calculation

For every assessment group, there are assessment results.

Data calculated from an evaluation of one metric is classified as a metric result. Data calculated from the weighted average of all metric results in a category is classified as a category result. The system calculates some assessment results when the assessment is generated, and others when users complete questionnaires.
