WORKER-TRAITS
3.1 WORKER-TRAIT
INDEX
The Worker-Trait System is based on the
fact that what one is strongly motivated to
do is that which one will try to do, learn
to do, develop skills for, enjoy doing, and
continue doing if possible.
The following subsections, each appearing
with a corresponding graph, compare an
individual (according to the data found in
the Personal and Communication Sections) to
a variety of components relative to the
world of work as defined by the U.S.
Department of Labor (U.S.D.L.).
Worker-Trait Code Symbols are listed
in a column marked by the heading WTC.
These symbols equal or represent the
content of the line following the number or
letter.
The Worker-Trait Code Symbol system
was developed for the U.S.D.L.’s
Dictionary of Occupational Titles and
adapted for use in Reflections.

3.1 Worker-Trait
Factors
3.1.01 Interest:
This section is to briefly
define, classify & code jobs.
Ten factors are used - but
really only 5 "scales" are used
because 5 of
those ten factors are used as
opposite polarity for the other
5:
1 Dealing w/things/objects vs
6 Concerned w/people/communicate
ideas
2 Business contacts w/people vs
7 Technical, Scientific
3 Routine, organized
vs 8 Abstract,
imaginative, creative
4 Work for people's good
vs 9 Non-social processes,
techniques
5 Gain recognition re/others vs
0 Tangible productive
satisfaction
3.1.02 Temperament:
This section is to confirm
(serve as backup for) the
Interest Section. The
TEMPERAMENT factors are also
paired, but in a different way -
by matching them in even/odd
pairs: 1/2 & 3/4, etc.:
1 Change & variety vs 2
Short cycle activity (routine)
3 Controlled activity vs
4 Management (plan, control,
etc.)
5 Involvement w/others vs 6
Isolation (work apart,
individual)
7 Technical, scientific vs 8
Abstract, imaginative, creative
9 Intuition, imagination vs 0
Evaluation: study, compare
X Interpersonal vs
Y Detail: attention to items,
things
3.1.03 Data:
In ascending
order (0-to-6), mind activity
goes 'down'
from 'seeing the big picture' to
'comparing pieces of the
picture':
0 Synthesize (interpret,
conceptualize, relate)
1 Coordinate (take action re:
time, sequence, procedure,
action)
2 Analyze (evaluate 'data' -
i.e. factors, symbols, etc. re:
use, timing)
6 Comparing (identify, classify,
code, match 'pieces of the
picture re: each
other & re: the big picture.
3.1.04 People: Roles,
Relationships
3.1.05 Things: Engineering,
Operating
3.1.06 Aptitude:
Sensory/Perceptual,
Sensory/Physical,
Mental/Detail
3.1.07 Reasoning:
The REASONING factors, in
conjunction with the DATA
factors, are a very valuable
part of seeing how the mind
functions.
3.1.08 Math:
MATH is in a
hierarchical order matching how
REASONING is treated.
3.1.09 Language:
LANGUAGE is in a hierarchical
order matching how REASONING is
treated.
