The [[Imperium]] measures and records the psionic activity and power level of [[psychic]] individuals through a rating system called '''The Assignment'''{{Fn|1}} or '''Imperial assignment'''.{{Fn|10}} Comprised of a twenty-four point scale, The Assignment simplifies the comparison of psykers to aid Imperial authorities in recognizing possible threats.{{Fn|1}} Classifications are made by the [[Scholastica Psykana]].{{Fn|1212b}}
==Overview==
Although rarely used, precise terminology for a negative psionic carries a "-Minus" at the end; a psionic of negative class '''Omega''' is thus properly called an '''Omega-Minus''' psyker.{{Fn|7}}
The grading of an individual can change over time.{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|13}} Whether it be through natural maturationIt is not uncommon for a psyker to unlock greater levels of power as they continue to practice, grow and mature.{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|12a}}{{Fn|13}} or practice, psykers Psykers might grow beyond they're initial grading. This warrants subsequent reclassification to more accurately reflect they're burgeoning powers.{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|12a}}
