The results of an ACEs screening, by itself, tells you very little: two persons both can have a score of, say 4, but the impact on the individuals can vary widely. Which four and what was most significant? A person might have a score of 1, but that one factor might have been so traumatic as to affect them in a way comparable to someone with a score of say, 6.
If administered properly, an ACEs screening can provide the person completing the survey with valuable information, and the service provider with useful insights. What I think some of us are saying is that, if administered en masse, there is also potential for great harm, as sloppy or lazy staff start categorizing people as :sixes" or "seven plus." Your ACE score is not your destiny.
