Student Key: r4gh7t


The graph below interprets your responses to WORKING. The numbers on the top and bottom of the chart show percentile ranks. You can use these percentile ranks to compare your scores to other individuals' scores. For example, if you scored in the 80th percentile in A Sense of Quality (QUAL), you scored higher than 80 percent of other individuals answering the same questions.

What do these scores mean to you? Higher scores on these nine scales are usually linked to more satisfying and rewarding careers. You can expect most employers to seek and reward people with high levels of those skills, habits, and styles. Some of the scales are more or less important for specific careers, but the trend in the workplace is definitely toward valuing those traits.

What should you do with your scores? You can improve yourself in any or all of the nine areas. Build on your strengths; improve those areas where you already score well. Find ways to improve on any scores that are lower than you would like. Time spent in upgrading these skills, habits, and styles will pay handsome dividends. The meanings of the codes along with a brief description of each scale are in the table below.

As you work to improve your scores, your advisor/instructor may want you to take this assessment again. If you do take it a second time, you will need your student key. Your student key is r4gh7t. Record this key for future use.
