- Occupational preference. Preferences for work environments and outcomes in occupations.
- Realistic occupation. An occupation that frequently involves work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions.

Many of the occupations require working outside, and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others.
- Investigative occupation. An occupation that frequently involves working with ideas and requires an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally.

- Social occupation. An occupation that frequently involves working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others.
- Enterprising occupation. An occupation that frequently involves starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business.

- Impact of decisions on co-workers or company results. What results do your decisions usually have on other people or the image or reputation or financial resources of your employer?
- Importance of being exact or accurate. How important is being very exact or highly accurate in performing this job?

- Pace determined by speed of equipment. How important is it to this job that the pace is determined by the speed of equipment or machinery? (This does not refer to keeping busy at all times on this job.)
