A score of 8 or 9 is a probable indication that the dysfunction is not a problem for your team.

A score of 6 or 7 indicates that the dysfunction could be a problem.

Regardless of your scores, it is important to keep in mind that every team needs constant work, because without it,

even the best ones deviate toward dysfunction.
