What is the Financial Fitness SCORE™?
Our proprietary Financial Fitness Checkup and SCORE™ is the only research and academic-based assessment in the financial wellness market. It provides organizations with over 20 million data points to benchmark participants' aptitude, behavior, and confidence regarding personal finances.
Proven Methodology of Financial Fitness SCORE™
The survey instruments (questions) used in the Financial Fitness SCORE™ have been developed based on over 20 years of research and collected wisdom from leaders in financial education and behavioral economics. Some key contributors to help develop the survey methodology include The Center for Financial Security at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Personal Finance Employee Education Fund.
How It’s Measured
SCORE™ is formulated by collecting millions of data points about the three key components of financial health, or the “A,B,C’s” of financial well-being: Aptitude, Behavior, and Confidence.
Aptitude
Each user completes an average of 10 questions on financial aptitude pulling from a databank of more than 100 "standardized" quiz questions on personal finance, saving, investing and retirement. This is continuously updated to ensure questions reflect the most recent tax laws, rules, regulations and relevant topics of interest.
Behavior
Behavior questions are set to be a simple, straightforward measure of an individual’s or group’s behavior. The questions are validated through a testing process, including display and wording, to ensure they serve as an accurate measure of people’s behavior across all demographics.
Confidence
The confidence questions are formulated by a host of financial academics, experts and researchers that use an 8-question survey called the Financial Well-Being Scale. This scale serves as a valid instrument to measure how people “feel” about money.
