starp's skill profile shows the percentage of questions answered correctly in each of four reasoning areas. It describes your performance on that test's questions; it is not a separate population percentile for each ability.
Know the question counts
| Domain | Questions |
|---|---|
| Pattern recognition | 8 |
| Spatial thinking | 8 |
| Logical reasoning | 7 |
| Numerical reasoning | 7 |
One answer changes an eight-question domain by 12.5 percentage points and a seven-question domain by about 14.3 points. With short domains, a single item can therefore make a noticeable visual difference.
Work through an example
Suppose you answer 6 of 8 pattern questions, 5 of 8 spatial questions, 5 of 7 logic questions and 6 of 7 numerical questions correctly. The domain accuracies are 75%, 62.5%, about 71.4% and about 85.7%.
The correct-answer total is 22, which maps to 100 on the current starp scale. Overall accuracy is 22/30, or about 73.3%. Do not average the four percentages without considering their different question counts.
Avoid turning a small difference into an identity
A lower spatial percentage in one session does not establish that you are permanently bad at spatial thinking. Inspect which questions were missed and why. A rotation error, an overlooked marking and a time-expired answer are different observations.
Likewise, a higher numerical percentage does not establish a formal numerical-ability ranking against the population.
Choose a concrete practice target
Select one recurring error type from the explanations. For example, practice identifying opposite faces in cube nets or distinguishing percentage change from percentage points. Then try fresh examples and explain the method without looking at the answer.
Use the profile to direct attention, not to replace the question-level evidence. The strongest practice plan connects a displayed percentage to specific reasoning steps you can review and improve.
