TOP TEN VOCATIONAL AREAS       NARRATIVE INTERPRETATION INTEREST IN JOB CONTENT The INTEREST section identifies the ideal job content for the individual by identifying the human talents, called Worker Traits, which he or she brings to the job. These talents are listed in their order of motivational priority and are central to the vocational potential of an individual. Typically, what one wants to do is that which he/she is most likely to do and do it often enough (including training for it) to transform the raw interest into real skills, and then, to stay on that job. Rob is perceptually, subconsciously, and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, and symbolic relationships, abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in Rob's mind, a process which just happens - a process often called intuition. It is not conscious effort to logically "come up with" creative ideas; instead, the process is best identified with the statement that "a thought struck me." Carl Jung said, "Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and makes a tool out of the human being. The thing that in the final analysis wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of the art." Rob is conscious of existence, meaning, purpose, potential and destiny of humankind, people, and self. Rob is motivated by a self-felt, self-accepted calling to the cause of good, growth, and gain in the lives of others. Influential communication of ideas is a primary way of achieving those objectives. Perception and thinking tend to be holistic and conceptual; i.e., seeing the big picture. It is important to see which of the other traits are interactive with this trait because there can be many interesting combinations. This is a major trait in cultural, intellectual, academic, and creative activities. It includes ideas, concepts, theory, ethics, and values. Rob has a curiosity and awareness about the nature and utility of things. Analysis and experimentation are part of vocational and recreational activities. But those are probably not specialized or professional activities. Instead, they are part of a mix of functional talents. This technical orientation causes Rob to think systematically and wants to have some developmental or experimental challenge in activities. Rob enjoys associating and interacting with people but likes independence as well. So the activity, rather than people per se, is the deciding factor. Where mutual interest is the purpose for association, Rob willingly participates and cooperates. Where interests differ, Rob will independently pursue those interests. Rob has the aptitude for physically working with things and objects. But that activity is probably secondary or minor part of a more important activity, such as operating a vehicle as a part of his/her work. It is an asset to be handy with one's physical talents, tools, appliances, etc. Rob enjoys social or vocational interaction with others but is not dependent on direct contact and association. If some work responsibilities or activities require functioning apart from others, it can be done without the need of social breaks to be with others. This flexibility is an asset in trade activities, operating machines or equipment, and in many technical and outdoor activities. PEOPLE In this section, seven people factors cover important activities related to the interaction of a person with other persons. These are very important for individuals motivated and talented for associating and interacting with people. They may also be important traits for certain "people intensive" jobs. (Low ratings in this section may also be quite positive and valuable, if occupations necessitate or require that an individual function apart from others, manage his/her own activities, or be satisfied with work in isolation.) Rob is interested in people, philosophically, and psychologically. That interest causes a personal, ethical interest in the potential and destiny of others. If that interest is reinforced by strong benevolence, Rob is active in service directly involved with and beneficial for others. It is important to see if Rob is benevolent, gregarious, managerial, persuasive and/or dedicated to harmonious relations. Each or all of those traits can be interactive with this mentoring trait and strongly influence the if, how and why that mentoring is done. Rob is motivated to educate, which means to share knowledge that will be useful for the persons taught. Instructing can be in many forms: teaching, training, influencing, and demonstrating. It is done through various combinations of traits, and there are many traits which could be involved. So it is necessary to scan all Worker Traits to discover why and how Rob instructs others. Rob voluntarily communicates to others with the intent or hope that the information will be in their interest and for their benefit. At medium motivation, it is probable that benevolent and literary traits are more strongly motivated than the persuasive trait. The persuasive trait might have low motivation, but the sense of service responsibility will cause willingness, even duty, to communicate. Rob enjoys being "on stage" in order to pleasantly influence others toward a particular viewpoint, objective, or product. Gregarious and persuasive traits are probably well motivated. Rob is comfortable with a spokesperson role, even energized by it. Because this trait is moderately motivated, Rob is not "stage-struck" toward entertaining or acting to the exclusion of other activities or responsibilities. This activity is more influencing than promoting or selling per se. Rob is ready, willing, and able to persuasively influence others with the intent or hope to convince them to agree with what is said. Because this trait is moderately motivated, Rob is probably not inclined to make a living by selling on a commission basis. Instead, persuasion is interactive with other traits and finds expression in other ways such as teaching, counseling, etc. THINGS Working with things, manipulation of materials and processes, and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or objects, highlight this Worker Trait Code section. None of the factors in this section are directly related to people nor call for exclusive mental talents. However, these factors do call for the interaction and interplay between mental, sensory, physical, and mechanical skills. If the individual has a natural mechanical savvy, and likes to work with his/her hands, this becomes a highly important and relevant Worker Trait Code section. Manipulating is a special trait which can have a variety of important meanings depending on its interaction with many different traits. In the "things" context of this section, it means motivated ability to manage/ handle material processing which may or may not involve machines. Basically, it is combined mental, sensory, and physical function tied to scheduling and processing of that which is at hand. Rob has that ability. (note: There can be other meanings to this trait. For instance, if all other mechanical or operator factors have low ratings, but management of people has high ratings (where listed in other Worker Trait Code sections), this factor then shows that the person is motivated to impersonally manage (manipulate) people as things at hand, as part of the process, to achieve management objectives.) Rob is well equipped for activity involving craft tools, repetitious activity, recognizable detail, variable physical conditions (temperature, elements, etc.) and minor tangible problem solving. This work is often called manual labor or basic labor to indicate that it can be done with minimum skill, training, instruction, or supervision. It is very often associated with a helper position and role. Rob has good awareness and ability to run/manage fixed machine operation, and to be responsible for machine performance, condition, output, and quality. This necessitates constant awareness of what is happening with the machine itself, with the processes being done by the machine, with materials going into the machine, quality of materials coming from the machine, and how and when to make adjustments and provide maintenance. A number of functions are involved and require a variety of talents, the most important being machine savvy, alert monitoring of operations, and coping with routine. Rob enjoys operating heavy, mobile equipment such as trucks, earth-movers, cranes, etc. Sensory and sensory/physical skills are primary: e.g., coordination, dexterity, timing, spatial awareness: size, shape, distance, dimension, perspective, relationship; depth perception. These skills have a fused linkage with equipment controls so that operator and machine are one unit. Natural machine savvy causes Rob to subconsciously know what the machine is capable of doing and operate it to get excellent performance. This usually includes proud identification, through one's skills, with the equipment one operates. Work is most often outdoors or where conditions for physical comfort aren't closely controlled. Mobility of work and residence is often another important factor. Rob has sensory/physical aptitude for feeding materials into machines or offbearing materials from machines efficiently and steadily. Such activity is usually associated with assembly line processing. It is important to review other worker trait factors to determine if and how long Rob would want, tolerate, or cope with being locked in with machine-mandated performance. One must be content with this kind of activity before one can be satisfied by it. Rob has interest and talent related to mechanical, technical, or systems engineering. It includes natural mechanical savvy about "what makes things tick" and motivation to design, assemble, build, install, or operate machines, equipment, or systems. Engineering may or may not be the major vocational activity. Rob's specific engineering orientation becomes clear when all factors in this Worker Trait Code section are studied. Many traits can be involved in various combinations. It is advisable to also review the interest and temperament sections. Rob has adequate skills and interest to be responsible for technical, operational control of tolerances and quality; for attainment of precise standards and identification of defects. This is a very important skill in industries where production, maintenance, and repair require exact precision, high quality, and almost zero in allowable defects or error. Rob is perceptive and alert relative to monitoring operational processes by use of technical recording instruments. This includes remaining interested, alert and responsible throughout steady operational shifts. This activity could appropriately be called operational/clerical because it means monitoring what is going on.
