The versatility allows for assessment of one or more people
at the same time, and customers can proceed at their own
comfortable pace.
It is self-administered, customers work on different
workstations, and the entire assessment process takes only
60 minutes or less to complete.
The Interest Inventory includes work activity statements to
which the customer responds with one of three choices:
LIKE
?
DISLIKE
Each of the items draws from one of the twelve GOE (Guide
for Occupational Exploration) interest areas. The 145 items
must be answered and it is not timed.
