Occupations have been divided into twelve large groups, called Interest Areas, based upon the kind of activities workers perform. The CareerScope Interest Inventory includes a list of work activities from the twelve Interest Areas. This report examines your responses to the interest inventory items to help you choose the kind of work you will most enjoy.
I. Interest Area Scores
Your total number of “LIKE,” “?” and “DISLIKE” responses for each Interest Area are reported below. Percentile scores show the percentage of other people who gave fewer “LIKE” responses than you did in each Interest Area. A percentile score of 50 shows average interest; 70 or higher shows above average interest as compared to other people. Percentile scores are listed below for males and females as well as for the total group. Your percentile scores are based upon a comparison between your results and the results of people who are 18 years of age or older.

Your most significant Interest Areas are identified in the “IPA” column and are based upon data found in the “Percent Like” column. Please refer to the Individual Profile Analysis on the next page for more detailed information.
The table below reports and displays the percentage of “LIKE” responses that you recorded within each of the twelve Interest Areas. The dark vertical line in the chart is your average percentage of “LIKE” responses (38%) across all twelve Interest Areas.

The table below reports and graphically displays your aptitudes as standard scores and as percentile scores. Both types of scores involve the comparison of your performance against the performance of other adults.
An aptitude score of 100 is exactly average. Scores between 80 and 120 can be thought of as “in the average range.” Percentile (%tile) scores report the percentage of people who score below you. The graph displays your relative strengths. Different combinations of aptitudes (listed on the left) are important in different Work Groups.

If “Counselor” is listed as the source of information, an assumption has been made regarding the score. If “None” is listed as the source, the performance factor will not be considered when making Work Group recommendations. Motor Coordination: Counselor; Finger Dexterity: Counselor; Manual Dexterity: Counselor.
RECOMMENDATIONSOccupations have been divided into twelve Interest Areas as described in the Guide for Occupational Exploration (GOE) and elsewhere. The Guide for Occupational Exploration further subdivides the Interest Areas into Work Groups, based upon aptitude score requirements. Occupations that belong to the same Work Group require similar interests and similar aptitudes.
Reported below are career directions that match your aptitudes as well as your 3 strongest interest areas. When you see a • symbol next to a GOE Work Group number and name it means you can be more confident that your aptitude scores qualify you for that Work Group. Review your CareerScope recommendations and score results with a career guidance and counseling professional to learn about the Work Groups that best match your assessment results.

The U.S. Department of Labor's electronic occupational information database is called O*NET. O*NET includes descriptions of occupational units and also reports worker characteristics that are related to successful employment and job satisfaction. O*NET can be found on the worldwide web at http://online.onetcenter.org.
This report includes Occupational Unit Titles and OU Numbers from the O*NET 15.0 database that are related to your current CareerScope interest and aptitude profile. Each occupational unit title and number is associated with a group of related occupations. Occupational units are nested beneath their respective major group title and definition. The Educational Job Zone column reports the educational requirement rating for the occupational unit. Here are the Job Zone definitions:
May require a high school diploma or GED certificate. May require a training course to obtain a license.Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
Zone 4
Zone 5
Usually requires a high school diploma and may require some vocational training or job-related coursework. An associate's or bachelor's degree could be needed.
Most require vocational training, related on-the-job experience, or an associate's degree. Some may require a bachelor's degree.
Most require a four-year bachelor's degree.
Many require graduate school coursework. All require at least a bachelor's degree.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The world of work has been divided into Interest Areas. These areas are further divided into Work Groups based upon aptitude requirements. 59 Work Groups are listed in the table below. When a number appears in the “I” column, it means the Work Group falls within one of your significant interest areas (1 = most preferred). When a symbol appears in the “A” column, it means that your aptitude scores qualify you for that Work Group. (You can be even more confident that you qualify for a Work Group when it is marked with a • symbol.)
