Basic Interest Interpretation Page 3 of 7
Highest Interest Scores
Your strongest interests (higher than 70) are a great place to start when considering your career options. Research has shown that people whose interests match their careers are more confident, happier, and achieve greater success.
Your highest score was on Personal Service, which means that you like interacting with others and providing the public with services involving personal contact. You also scored highly on Clerical, indicating that you enjoy office work of a systematic nature, involving attending to details and routine duties. Clerical work often includes filing, record-keeping, word processing, operating office machines, and other office tasks. Your high score on the Food Service scale means that you like to be involved in the preparation, serving, or selling of food products. This includes selecting ingredients, creating menus, supervising kitchen staff, cooking, baking, and aspects of food service.
Tip #1: By combining your top interests, you may discover a great career. For example, someone with high scores in Science, Writing, and Assertive scales may enjoy working as an editor of a scientific magazine or journal.
Lowest Interest Scores
Low scores (less than 30) are just as important as high scores. These indicate lack of interest or dislike for certain activities. Understanding what jobs to avoid can save you time and prevent costly career mistakes.
Your lowest interest score was on Art. Even though you may appreciate art, this is not an area where you have particularly strong interests. You probably would not be fulfilled in careers that involve performing on stage, creating visual artwork, or other means of artistic expression. You also showed low interest in Sales, so you wouldn’t be fulfilled in careers that involve selling merchandise or services. These careers involve understanding products and services, informing customers of their features, demonstrating products, and being persuasive with others. Your low score on Persuasive means that you wouldn’t be fulfilled with work that involves influencing, advising, counseling, guiding, motivating, or directing the activities of others.
Tip #2: Consider these interest scores along with what you already know about your own abilities, experiences and values. Interests are only one important component of a career plan that leads to a satisfying and successful career.
Administrative Scores
The following scores show how much confidence can be placed in your test results.
