How the score is built
The overall score averages eight test-score slots. A test expressly marked skipped contributes 0 to that average and remains labeled Skipped; it is not a measured red result on the Systematic standards. A Broad Jump with no valid landing after the allowed attempts has no score, so the assessment stays incomplete and no overall score is shown, rather than an average of the other seven.
With the full assessment complete, the results show each test's raw result, its 0 to 10 score, the category it falls in and the complete category range, so you can see where your result sits.
How a 0 to 10 score is reached: one example
Scores move continuously between fixed anchor points rather than in steps. The Farmer's Carry shows how: your result becomes a performance ratio, and a ratio of 0.50 or below scores 0.0, 0.75 scores 5.0, 0.90 scores 8.0, and 1.00 or above scores 10.0. Results in between are interpolated.
What the color means
Every valid result belongs to exactly one category. Red, yellow and green are Systematic standards, and the color is taken directly from that test's category rules for the scoring version that produced your result. It is never worked out from the rounded 0 to 10 score.
All eight tests now have a final category model or an explicit rule for each age and sex cohort.
While you are taking the tests, the category boundaries are not shown. On the results page, the needle gives each category an equal block and does not invent an upper limit for green, a Systematic standard, on tests where scores top out.
The Systematic Healthspan Assessment is a physical baseline. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not estimate a biological age, a disease risk or a lifespan.
