The raw score for the characteristic. The range is 0 to 1. A higher score generally indicates a greater likelihood that the author has that characteristic, but raw scores must be considered in aggregate: The range of values in practice might be much smaller than 0 to 1, so an individual score must be considered in the context of the overall scores and their range.

The raw score enables comparison of the results against a different sampling population and with a custom normalization approach.
