-  Narrative Interpretation
-    INTEREST IN JOB CONTENT
-    (Those tasks you want to perform)
-           The Interest section identifies the ideal job content for
-          you by identifying your motivations and preferences, called
-          Worker Traits. These traits are listed in order of priority.
-          Typically, what one wants to do is that which he/she is most
-          likely to do and do it often enough (including training for
-          it) to transform the raw interest into real skills, and then,
-          to stay on that job. The Interest section of your MAPP report
-          outlines your preferences toward work in relation to people,
-          creativity, social activities, routine, tools, equipment and
-          more. The Interest section is the first glance of your top
-          motivators. Each section thereafter will inter-relate and you
-          will begin seeing themes about the types of tasks and work
-          that you prefer.
-Preferences for Peder fully support being perceptually, subconsciously,
-and consciously aware of fantasy, symbols, symbolic relationships,
-abstract ideas, options, and choice of options as they relate to
-creative or innovative activities. Perception triggers ideas in Peder's
-mind, a process that just happens - a process often called intuition. It
-is not a conscious effort to logically "come up with" creative ideas;
-instead, the process is best identified with the statement that "a
-thought struck me." A quote by Carl Jung probably makes complete sense
-to Peder: "Art is innate in the artist, like an instinct that seizes and
-makes a tool out of the human being. The thing in the final analysis
-that wills something in him is not he, the personal man, but the aim of
-the art."
-Peder has natural preferences that engender curiosity about the nature
-of things and about "what makes things tick". In addition, motivational
-levels are highest where activities allow thinking focused on the
-inquisitive, exploratory, analytical, and experimental. "Technical"
-orientation is often the interaction of two or more of these traits:
-Scientific, Natural/Outdoor, Mechanical, and Managerial. It is important
-to identify the other traits involved to determine whether Peder is more
-technical, scientific or systems-oriented or if these traits are balanced.
-Peder prefers to associate with others socially, organizationally, and
-recreationally. In addition to assuring company with others, association
-is an important arena and environment for interacting with people in a
-variety of ways: leadership, managing, supervising, communicating,
-serving, caring, etc. Other traits have to be considered to determine
-how and why Peder is motivated to associate and interact with others.
-Peder is motivated to manage people and their activities. Such
-management can be exercised with a variety of talents Peder may possess
-and for a variety of reasons. The primary reasons may be: 1) to exercise
-executive, managerial, or supervisory responsibility and authority, 2)
-to have the management position, role and recognition, 3) to not be in a
-subordinate, supervised position or role. Because emphasis is on the
-management of people, this is seen by Peder as a service role where the
-managing is in the interest of those being managed. Whether Peder is
-motivated and equipped to manage on a "take charge" or "given charge"
-basis (an important difference) can be determined by the motivational
-strength and involvement of other related traits.
-Peder is motivated to assertively or aggressively gain personal
-recognition, status, prestige, and worth in the process of social,
-organizational, and/or vocational interaction with others. Peder looks
-for opportunity, challenge, and risk if and when odds are strongly
-favorable. But Peder does not prefer challenge or risk if they might
-result in loss of status, role, or ownership. In many vocational
-activities, recognition is a primary motivator and, therefore, an
-important asset. Peder probably understands what Mark Twain meant when
-he said, "I can write for two weeks on one compliment."
-Peder is conscious of existence, meaning, purpose, potential and destiny
-of humankind, people, and self. Peder is motivated by a self-felt,
-self-accepted calling to the cause of good, growth, and gain in the
-lives of others. Influential communication of ideas is a primary way of
-achieving those objectives. Perception and thinking tend to be holistic
-and conceptual; i.e., seeing the big picture. It is important to see
-which of the other traits are interactive with this trait because there
-can be many interesting combinations. This is a major trait in cultural,
-intellectual, academic, and creative activities. It includes ideas,
-concepts, theory, ethics, and values.
-Peder is motivated to work on projects that are planned, scheduled, and
-completed. This indicates a preference to complete a project rather than
-leave it unfinished. But completion or achievement may be offset by
-switching to a project of higher priority and/or interest, with the hope
-that the uncompleted project may be done another day. What is not
-completed will probably be kept in mind until it is completed.
-Peder enjoys social or vocational interaction with others but is not
-dependent on direct contact and association. If some work
-responsibilities or activities require functioning apart from others, it
-can be done without the need for social breaks to be with others. This
-flexibility is an asset in trade activities, operating machines or
-equipment, and in many technical and outdoor activities.
-Peder has a preference for physically working with things and objects,
-but that activity is probably secondary or a minor part of a more
-important activity, such as operating a vehicle as a part of his/her
-work. It is an asset to be handy with one's physical talents, tools,
-appliances, etc.
-Peder's preferences can include routine, organized, and methodical
-procedures, but this is not a need or dependency. Peder is most likely
-to adapt immediate preferences to change if it isn't too sudden,
-radical, or disruptive. The predominant motivation is to strike a good
-balance between stability and flexibility.
-    TEMPERAMENT FOR THE JOB
-    (How you prefer to perform tasks)
-          //
-          //This Temperament section identifies the motivation and
-          talent an individual possesses in twelve Worker Trait Areas
-          and coincides with the Interest section. The Temperament and
-          Interest sections say the same thing from a different
-          perspective. Your highest motivators will be displayed first.
-          In this section you will learn things such as; do you prefer
-          lots of change and variety on the job, are you persuasive, do
-          you prefer to work in teams or independently, are you a
-          naturally driven to evaluate and analyze, and more.////
-Peder prefers and needs change and variety. Change is motivating,
-stimulating, and energizing. Peder looks for new options, challenges,
-assignments, acquaintances, relationships, and even new careers in new
-places. Peder tires of sameness, repetition, and routine even in
-activities that were interesting at the start. Once things become
-routine for Peder, this becomes a motivation to move on to more
-interesting things.
-Peder subjectively exercises responsibility for social, vocational, or
-recreational perceptions, thinking, options, choices, decisions, and
-actions. This is an important, broad scoped, in-depth factor that
-includes social, leadership, management, and mental activities.
-Responsibilities which fit Peder's preferences are identified by many
-other traits. The purpose of this factor is to emphasize that Peder
-accepts, assumes, and acts responsibly (and probably assertively)
-relative to the exercise of talents and skills, and those talents and
-skills might apply to various forms of leadership. Perception, thinking,
-and action tend to be in the context of the "big picture". Thinking is
-holistic, conceptual, exploratory, and analytical.
-Mind and mental activity are very central to Peder's vocational
-activities. (NOTE: "Intuition is very different from thought, from
-feeling and from sensation, by the major characteristic of insight.
-Intuition comes from the Latin meaning, literally, `in to you'.
-Intuitive insight results from `identification with,' rather than
-`looking at' the object of attention. It is `being a part of.' Intuiting
-is a process, not of perception, but of experience. There is no need for
-interpretation in intuition. Intuitive relationship implies contact. So
-one does not perceive; one experiences." ~~Quote from Robert Ashby)
-Peder has a preference or perhaps the talent or ability for experiencing
-abstract ideas, creativity, concepts, theory, assessment, and choice of
-options. New ideas and creativity must have an important place in vocation.
-(NOTE: "Evaluation: to appraise carefully; to judge as to worth or
-amount; to estimate generally.") Most likely, Peder has a logical mind
-which "makes sense" of what is perceived regarding the big picture and
-pieces of the picture within the context of that big picture. It is
-evaluation or assessment after perception, not the process of perception
-itself. Emphasis is on patterns, linkage, and relationships. Intuition
-may be involved in conjunction with this evaluation/assessment process.
-Peder is strongly motivated to: 1) have direct access to the listener,
-) intentionally, assertively (maybe aggressively), orally communicate
-to the listener, 3) cause the listener to hear and understand what is
-said, 4) cause the listener to willingly or otherwise accept what was
-said, and 5) cause the listener to act on what was said if that was the
-intent. Persuasion suggests confrontation of wills and may include
-intimidation, intentional or otherwise, overt or covert. It is important
-to look at other traits to identify the motivation, purpose, style and
-objective of this persuasive trait. Peder is going to persuade; the only
-questions are: when, how, and for what purpose.
-Peder regards self as talented, self-sufficient, and goal-oriented.
-Peder most likely demonstrates independence in two ways: 1) is motivated
-to manage own operational, technical, professional, scientific, and/or
-administrative activities without management or involvement by others;
-or 2) does manage the skills and abilities of others, impersonally but
-objectively, as "utility" in the process of getting things done. The
-prime motivation is to utilize what is at hand to accomplish vocational
-objectives. That could be done exclusively with one's own talents and
-skills, or it could include applying the talents and skills of others.
-If it includes management of people, they are expected, perhaps even
-required, to perform at quality skill levels. Peder prefers not to be
-managed or dominated by others or to rigidly conform to organization
-rules or expectations.
-Peder prefers and actually seeks organizational management
-responsibility. Emphasis is on firm, take charge management to get
-things done through utilizing the talents and abilities of others.
-Skills are primary. Peder is not interested in the activity in order to
-socialize, empathize, sympathize, or manage on a psychological,
-personality, emotional, or ego basis. It is management with balance
-between the big picture and pieces of the picture. This management is
-fairly administered, as long as performance, quality, and results are
-the measuring criteria.
-Peder's preferences tend to be naturally empathetic, sympathetic,
-generous, and helpful. Peder is probably always ready to offer a helping
-hand to others. (Note: If benevolence is to be a part of vocational or
-volunteer activities, it is important to identify how it best functions
-with other traits.) Peder has a natural motivation towards being
-generous and helpful relative to current hurts, needs, problems, and
-wishes of others, particularly those who are in direct contact.
-Peder enjoys and benefits from being organizationally interactive with
-others in work or recreational activities. This sort of preference tends
-to represent a motivation toward association and service. Peder also has
-considerable social independence so organizational association with
-others tends to be on a mutual-interest or mutual-activity basis. If
-work requires functioning independently of or apart from others, Peder
-is comfortable with occasional nonsocial activities.
-Peder does not generally see, retain, and/or recall verbatim detail and,
-instead, shows an awareness of concepts, patterns, general ideas, etc.
-Peder "Gets the drift" of what is seen, read, or heard. Recall is in
-general and in relative terms and not in specifics. Numbers are
-sometimes transposed. Words are read as form or pattern rather than by
-specific letters. Although this concept is built around ability,
-addressed here is how these abilities generally affect current
-preferences and specific motivations pertaining to the situation.
-Peder does not prefer being tied to or tied down by timed, repetitious
-sensory/physical activity. Such work quickly becomes boring,
-frustrating, and stressful. In such work, Peder seeks and needs frequent
-breaks and other change and/or variety. Performance and quality of work
-tend to fade as repetitive activity continues.
-Peder does not prefer or need to be managed by others. It is important
-to study related Worker Traits to determine whether Peder is motivated
-to manage, influence, persuade, or work independently. Persons who don't
-wish to be managed sometimes do not perform or adjust well when closely
-monitored or supervised. They resent being dominated, managed, or
-controlled by others.
-    APTITUDE FOR THE JOB
-    (Expression of performing tasks)
-          //
-          //This is a highly generalized section in which the narrative
-          deliberately focuses on the combination of motivations and
-          preferences as they relate to personal talents or skills. It
-          lets the individual look into a vocational mirror and see
-          his/her own talents and then decide for themselves where they
-          fit and function the best with regard to motivation and
-          preference. It is another context in which to see if
-          priorities are mental, sensory, or physical: "To thine own
-          self be true."////
-Peder's preferences fully support holistic, conceptual perception, and
-thinking relative to the basic nature, utility, potential, or strategic
-possibility of what is being observed or considered. This includes
-intuition, insight, creativity, curiosity, experimentation, and
-innovation in various degrees. Ideas are at the heart of this talent.
-The basic orientation is perceptual and mental seeing.
-Peder's preferences, more often than not, are motivated by such things
-as sensing and seeing aesthetics, essence, philosophical and
-psychological meaning, and effect of color. Peder probably doesn't
-consider the saying, "Beauty is more than skin deep" as a cliche.
-Further, Peder considers pattern, texture, and spatial measure: size,
-shape, distance, dimension, perspective, relationship, etc. with the
-same regard. This includes abstract dimensions and patterns, graphics,
-layouts, etc. (NOTE: That higher artistic sense is the source of
-abstract art, animated films, computer graphics, fractal geometry, new
-clothing designs and styles, modern architecture, etc.) Peder would
-probably make a permanent mental note of the quote from Carl Jung, "The
-artist is essentially the instrument, and he stands below his work, for
-which reason we should never expect from him an interpretation of his
-own work. He achieved his highest with his composition."
-Philosophical, cultural, scientific, literary, managerial, and/or
-computational work, more than likely, represent very important types of
-mental activities for Peder. Being capable in those activities, Peder's
-mind is naturally receptive to consider abstract ideas, theory,
-concepts, inquiry, exploration, analysis, logic, systems, and
-procedures. Factors in this aptitude section, plus the data and
-reasoning sections show the degree of motivation and talent Peder has
-for each of those mental activities. High rating for this trait
-indicates an intellectual orientation that is functional in, or has
-potential for, academic, scientific, research, literary, executive, or
-consulting activities.
-Peder's preferences and motivations are derived from understanding the
-deeper or 'real' meaning of ideas and words and uses them effectively in
-written or oral communication. Literary in this factor means intentional
-search for ideas expressed by the minds of others for one's own use,
-assimilation, learning, etc. The source can be books, other
-publications, historical documents, research information, drama, movies,
-television, the "information highway" or internet, etc. Emphasis is on
-communication: picking up information from minds of others or
-communication aimed toward the minds of others. Journalism and writing
-are major activities. Literary activity is not exclusively intellectual,
-academic, or cultural. It may be an end in itself as in a bookworm for
-instance. And literary activity is not always accompanied by
-communicative activity, written or oral. On the other hand,
-communicative activity need not be literary in the classic sense. And
-one need not be persuasive to be communicative, but it helps. When the
-trait is highly motivated, as it is here, it suggests both literary and
-communicative abilities that are or could become a usable skill or a
-developed talent. By now you can see that only a review of all traits
-will clearly show the specific content of Peder's literary and/or
-communicative preferences and motivations.
-Sensory/mental awareness of "pieces of the picture" is capacity for
-comparative, intra-holistic recognition of parts relative to other parts
-and/or the big picture. It includes ability to see essential detail and
-make visual/mental comparison and discrimination relative to
-relationships of objects. The definition says "*pieces* of the picture,"
-so it recognizes the picture and its larger context, but this trait
-still emphasizes pieces and their status as pieces. Peder prefers to see
-the big picture by first putting all the 'pieces' together. Most likely
-Peder already sees pieces as pieces rather than the big picture first
-and then breaking it apart into all the various pieces.
-Motivations and preferences for certain activities are so closely
-interwoven with Peder's mind and senses that they are subconsciously
-connected so that perception and thinking automatically convert to
-sensory signals which trigger physical action. (NOTE: This is a
-'general' overview of potential for "mind over body" activities - where
-emphasis is on the mind's ability TO effectively use one's physical
-talents and or abilities). Peder's mind UTILIZES physical talents and
-abilities (whatever they happen to be in any given activity) as the most
-immediately available system for its use.
-Peder's mind is naturally motivated to put physical abilities and
-natural talents, whatever they may be, into immediate use in given
-situations calling on immediate responses. Peder is conscious of this
-mental activity and relies on the subconscious link manifesting itself
-in action. As a result, Peder naturally prefers activities where
-attributes include: dexterity, timing, rhythm, and ability with
-simultaneous functions - like operating a power shovel or crane, or
-seeing a ball and swinging a bat at the right time and the right place.
-(NOTE: Excellent skills are the result of subconscious processes taking
-over from `by-the-numbers' consciousness `telling' the body what to do.
-That kind of conscious-to-subconscious `switchover' can also be referred
-to as 'Second Nature'.
-Peder is moderately motivated for Manual 'workbench' activities
-regardless of actually developed skills or abilities. 'Workbench'
-activities mean `handwork' at a stationary place where materials are
-processed. Peder either already possesses the required skills or has
-adequate motivation for acquiring such skills to work for long periods
-of time, but disinterest will finally have an effect on performance. The
-quality or output of work will decline, or Peder will start to look for
-something else to do. Breaks in the work, or rotation of work (such as
-in a "team environment" may be enough variety to keep interest and
-performance at motivated, good performance levels.
-Regardless of if Peder has the ability and/or skills or even the
-aptitude to handle and manipulate small objects rapidly and accurately
-with good concentration, preferences for this sort of activity are, more
-than likely, adequate for doing so for a considerable length of time. If
-Peder does possess the skills, abilities or even aptitude, the only way
-of knowing if there is an adequate level of motivation is to review all
-traits related to detail, concentration, keen visual awareness, extended
-routine, and handling of functional problems.
-Peder's preferences and motivations most likely revolve around an
-adequate ability to see, retain, and recall detail. Preferences and
-motivations do not fixate on detail or a vocational specialization based
-on detail. (NOTE: Awareness of detail at this level is a useful talent
-in functional, operational, or administrative activities).
-Although Peder does not specifically prefer mathematics, motivation is
-not swayed one way or the other as there is an adequate awareness and
-ability utilizing mathematics. Other traits will indicate which kind of
-math that preference applies to: theoretical, statistical, analytical,
-computational, business, administrative, clerical, arithmetic, or
-posting. Wherever it works best, it is a vocational asset.
-    PEOPLE
-    (How you relate to people, in priority order)
-          //
-          //In this section, seven people factors cover important
-          activities related to the interaction of a person with other
-          persons. These are very important for individuals motivated
-          and perhaps even naturally talented or specifically trained
-          for associating and interacting with people. They may also be
-          important traits for certain ?people intensive? jobs. Low
-          motivational ratings in this section may also be quite
-          positive and valuable, if occupations necessitate or require
-          that an individual function apart from others, manage his/her
-          own activities, or be satisfied with work in isolation.////
-Highly motivated persuasion means that Peder intends to assertively,
-even aggressively, make direct personal contact with others, orally
-project a message with the deliberate intent and attempt to cause the
-listener or listeners to hear what is said, accept what is said, and act
-on what was said, so that Peder can close the deal. If it is for
-commission (i.e., in the seller's interest), it will be a hard-sell even
-though it might come across as a soft-sell. If it has philosophical or
-benevolent objectives, it will be a soft-sell. But if Peder is defending
-and/or championing the cause of the underdog or the less fortunate, then
-it will seem as if some modern-day Don Quixote and/or Joan of Arc are
-doing the persuading. (Note: As a single trait, persuasion is the most
-deliberately assertive, often aggressive, psychological
-expression/effort of an individual.)
-This high drive to negotiate is intellectual more than psychological,
-assertive more than aggressive, logical more than emotional,
-strategically winning the contest more than persuasively winning a
-skirmish. Peder is strongly motivated to represent one position in a
-confrontation of different views and objectives and is motivated and
-determined to apply logic, strategies, and communicative skills to cause
-agreement, compromise, concession, or submission by opposing positions
-or views. Persuasion is probably involved; at least it is an asset, but
-it is not essential. Intimidation may be involved, but it is considered
-a poor tool for achieving objectives. Strategic thinking is preferred as
-the key element and is also represented in the reasoning section (Factor 1).
-Peder's motivations are heightened significantly by persuasive,
-gregarious, auditory-musical, visual-artistic, and communicative traits
-to entertain others with intent to convince them toward a particular
-idea, viewpoint, direction, objective, or product. In this motivational
-context, entertainment is more than pleasing people. It has promotional
-and marketing objectives. Some preferred activities include: marketing,
-sales, public relations, television commercials, lobbying, political
-campaigns, promotional consulting, sports announcing, etc. Motivations
-may also be driven at the prospect of efforts to get ahead in various
-areas of entertainment and/or acting, i.e., to advance one's own career.
-Persuasion is the primary preferred trait. A high level of motivation
-exists because there is an element of risk involved where the effort has
-a goal tied to the end of the act.
-Philosophical, literary, scientific, managerial and/or persuasive traits
-may be involved in Peder's motivation and drive to educate, train, or
-influence others. The main preference is to share knowledge and
-information that will be useful. So, conveying information to others
-assumes that educating self precedes educating others. Peder is
-motivated by learning, seeing the big picture, recognizing how pieces
-fit the picture, and prefers passing information on to others. Because
-so many traits might be involved in instructing activities, it is
-important to scan the other traits to see which traits are important.
-Peder's personal motivations support the willing acceptance of
-responsibility for planning, assigning, and supervising work activities
-of others in operational or administrative activities. Preferences focus
-on daily scheduling, procedures, expediting, motivating, solving
-problems as they arise, and meeting functional objectives. This sort of
-preference considers the prime responsibility as developing the will to
-work with employees and motivating them to higher levels of attainment
-and performance.
-Peder does prefer considering people both philosophically, and
-psychologically. This natural motivation towards an interest in people
-causes a personal, ethical interest in the potential and destiny of
-others. If that interest is reinforced by strong benevolence, Peder
-prefers to be active in service directly involved with and beneficial
-for others. It is important to see what motivational levels exist for
-Peder with regard to benevolence, gregariousness, managerial activities,
-persuasiveness and/or dedication to harmonious relations. Each or all of
-those traits can be interactive with this mentoring trait and strongly
-influence the if, how and why that mentoring is done.
-Peder is motivated to voluntarily communicate to others with the intent
-or hope that the information will be in their interest and for their
-benefit. At this motivational level, it is probable that Peder is more
-strongly motivated in benevolent and literary traits rather than just
-this persuasive trait. The persuasive trait here might have a lower
-motivational level, however, the sense of service responsibility will
-cause certain willingness, even duty, to communicate persuasively if
-warranted.
-Rather than a motivation for putting others first, Peder's preferences
-revolve around self as a first priority. Peder is motivated by
-self-interest, status, and recognition. Peder does not like to lose, so
-all options and choices are evaluated on the basis of the chance of gain
-versus the chance of loss before a decision or commitment is made.
-Stress and frustration are experienced when things aren't going Peder's
-way. Pleasure, enthusiasm, and energy are experienced when things are
-going Peder's way. Association and relationships are chosen, maintained,
-or abandoned on the basis of self-interest.
-    THINGS
-    (How you relate to things, in priority order)
-          /
-          /Working with things, manipulation of materials and processes,
-          and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or
-          objects, highlights this Worker Trait Code section. None of
-          the factors in this section are directly related to people nor
-          call for exclusive talents whether or not they exist within
-          the individual. However, these factors do call for the
-          interaction and interplay between mental, sensory, physical,
-          and mechanical skills and/or abilities as possessed by the
-          individual. If the individual has a natural mechanical savvy,
-          and likes to work with his/her hands, this becomes a highly
-          important and relevant Worker Trait Code section./
-          /
-Manipulating is a special trait that can have a variety of important
-meanings depending on its interaction with many different traits. In the
-"things" context of this section, it means the ability with a high
-motivational level to manage/ handle material processing that may or may
-not involve machines. Basically, it is combined mental, sensory, and
-physical functions tied to scheduling and processing of that which is at
-hand. Peder has the high motivational level and perhaps even that
-ability (or at least the motivational level that supports training).
-(Note: There can be other meanings to this trait. For instance, if all
-other mechanical or operator factors have low motivational levels or
-preferences, but management of people has high levels, this factor then
-shows that the person is motivated to impersonally manage (manipulate)
-people as things at hand, as part of the process, to achieve management
-objectives.)
-Peder is motivated toward activities involving mechanical engineering,
-including: 1) mechanical awareness of assembly, fabrication, operation,
-leverage, motion, force, and power, 2) design and/or draw technical
-plans, 3) technical, statistical, and numerical analysis, and 4) layout
-and installation. This highly motivated engineering orientation probably
-means professional dedication to a major engineering vocation.
-Peder's motivations support ability to running/managing fixed machine
-operation, and the responsibility for machine performance, condition,
-output, and quality. (NOTE: This necessitates constant awareness of what
-is happening with the machine itself, with the processes being done by
-the machine, with materials going into the machine, quality of materials
-coming from the machine, and how and when to make adjustments and
-provide maintenance). A number of functions are involved and require a
-variety of talents that Peder either has or is motivated to learn, the
-most important being machine savvy, alert monitoring of operations, and
-coping with routine.
-Peder prefers operating heavy, mobile equipment such as trucks,
-earth-movers, cranes, etc. More than likely, Peder either possesses or
-has the motivational levels required to develop the required sensory and
-sensory/physical skills that are primary for vocational involvement:
-e.g., coordination, dexterity, timing, spatial awareness: size, shape,
-distance, dimension, perspective, relationship; depth perception. (NOTE:
-These skills have a fused linkage with equipment controls so that
-operator and machine are one unit). Peder probably has a natural machine
-savvy that would allow natural ability or proper training to
-subconsciously link what the machine is capable of doing to operating it
-for excellent performance. (NOTE: This usually includes proud
-identification, through one's skills, with the equipment one operates).
-Since this sort of work is most often outdoors or where conditions for
-physical comfort aren't closely controlled, Peder's preferences fall
-right in line. Mobility of work and residence is often another important
-factor also in line with existing preferences.
-Peder is well motivated for activity involving craft tools, repetitious
-activity, recognizable detail, variable physical conditions
-(temperature, elements, etc.) and minor tangible problem solving. This
-work is often called manual labor or basic labor to indicate that it can
-be done with minimum skill, training, instruction, or supervision. It is
-very often associated with a helper position and role.
-Given the full description of any activity requiring a sensory/physical
-aptitude for feeding materials into machines or offbearing materials
-from machines efficiently and steadily, Peder's preferences for being
-involved start at a moderate motivational level. Such activity is
-usually associated with assembly line processing. It is important to
-review other worker trait factors to determine if and how long Peder
-would remain motivated and how that level would effect tolerance, or
-coping with being locked in with machine-mandated performance. One must
-be content with this kind of activity before one can be satisfied by it
-or motivated to continue doing it.
-Peder is moderately motivated to be responsible for technical,
-operational control of tolerances and quality; for attainment of precise
-standards and identification of defects. (NOTE: This is a very important
-preference in industries where production, maintenance, and repair
-require exact precision, high quality, and almost zero in allowable
-defects or error).
-Peder's motivational level supports the ability (either existing or
-because of pending training) to be perceptive and alert relative to
-monitoring operational processes by use of technical recording
-instruments. This includes remaining interested, alert and responsible
-throughout steady operational shifts. This activity could appropriately
-be called operational/clerical because it means monitoring what is going on.
-    DATA
-    (How you relate to data, in priority order)
-          /
-          The data section identifies preferences, motivations and
-          priorities for certain kinds of mental activities. If
-          interests and preferences are primarily intellectual,
-          academic, scholarly, scientific, mathematical, or
-          professional, this may be the most important section of the
-          Worker Trait Code System for the person appraised. If his/her
-          preferences are not primarily mental, this section may have
-          little value. If these factors are important for this profile,
-          then factors in the reasoning, math, and language sections
-          will also be both relevant and important.
-          /
-"Synthesize: putting two or more things together to form a whole; the
-combination of separate elements of thought into a whole; the operation
-by which divided parts are united" (Webster). Peder is motivated by
-seeing the big picture so much so that (s)he, attempts to see all parts
-of the picture in that larger context, then sees all parts relative to
-each other, but still within that larger context. Perception and
-thinking are therefore holistic and conceptual. Philosophical and
-intuitive processes are involved. Scientific, managerial, and/or
-literary preferences may also be involved. Other mental factors in this
-section are subordinate, secondary, or complementary to this primary
-motivational attribute. This is an overview and scanning activity that
-includes ideas, concepts, theory, fiction, hypothesis and assessment.
-(Note that words in the last sentence are unrelated to logic that
-Webster defines as "the science of the operations of the understanding
-subservient to the estimation of evidence.") For Peder, preferences for
-this sort of synthesis will allow it to get no further toward logic than
-estimating.
-Peder is strongly motivated to coordinate: to take actions, to
-manipulate that which is at hand in order to "get the show on the road."
-Because of the strong motivational levels for this, it is very important
-to determine whether Peder has first seen the big picture, pulled in
-important pieces of the picture, made plans, and developed strategies
-before taking action. If "Coordination" is the top priority, it becomes
-a "General Patton Syndrome" which is to begin the charge, then identify
-the objective, and hope that someone follows with the supplies. If there
-are equal motivational levels in this trait as in other mental traits,
-it still means enthusiasm and drive to take action, but it is balanced
-with other related functions. This trait represents preferences that are
-goal oriented!
-Preferences that direct mental activity for Peder are naturally curious,
-inquisitive, investigative, exploratory, analytical, and experimental.
-Words such as "if" and "why" are central to this trait. It is a factor
-that fits exactly between synthesizing and comparing, with emphasis on
-synthesizing. Analysis is more than seeing the big picture, or seeing
-how the pieces fit the big picture. The motivation to engage an activity
-or process comes from nonlinear speculating about new forms,
-possibilities, relations, and fits. In other words, it tends to be an
-executive function dedicated to possibilities.
-Peder is highly motivated when given the task of identifying factors
-that are important for vocational use. This trait, comparing includes:
-) awareness of the context (big picture) in which the factor or factors
-would or could fit; 2) relationship of the factors to other factors
-within that larger context; 3) new possibilities of linkage or
-relationships of factors to the big picture; and/or 4) new possibilities
-of linkage or relationships of factors with factors in a new context.
-(NOTE: This is an important trait for research, technical activities,
-systems engineering, operations management, and administrative
-activity). Many trait combinations can be involved in this activity:
-scientific, literary, tangible problem solving, visual-artistic,
-philosophical, and managerial. It is important to identify which of
-those traits are involved in Peder's perceptual/mental preferences.
-Compiling means more than simply gathering large volumes of data sheets
-and stuffing them in a filing cabinet. It means that Peder is motivated
-to find, identify, classify, store, remember, and retrieve what is
-important or what might be important for future use. (NOTE: This is
-crucial for researchers, technical writers, lawyers, academic teachers,
-consultants, systems engineers, and programmers). This trait indicates a
-subconscious preference we could refer to as a "packrat" orientation,
-i.e., if it glitters; stuff it in the nest along with everything else
-because it might be useful sometime. Other traits will indicate how
-motivated the individual is to be thorough, practical, and efficient
-within this trait.
-High motivational levels in the copy trait means more than laying a
-paper face down in a copy machine and pushing buttons. It includes: 1)
-awareness of spatial measure and layout: size, shape, dimension,
-perspective; 2) artistic ability for factual image reproduction; 3)
-attention to detail; 4) awareness of machine function and use; and 5)
-tolerance of or preference for routine. High motivational levels
-represent an asset for database management, administrative work,
-warehouse processing, or library activities as well. It is particularly
-valuable for persons operating printing or copy shops or persons
-involved in publishing with computers. Peder would most likely prefer
-activities that include as many of the attributes, mentioned above, as
-possible.
-Peder is motivated to a degree for handling and solving routine,
-factual, mathematical problems. This set of preferences holds value in
-operational, technical, processing, or administrative activities. (NOTE:
-When interacting with other traits, as it does here, this trait has
-vocational value in many areas).
-    REASONING
-    (How you relate to reasoning, in priority order)
-          /
-          This Reasoning section is closely linked with the Data
-          section. The Data section identifies an individual's
-          priorities or preferences (high and low) for ways of thinking,
-          while the Reasoning section focuses on where, why, and how
-          this thinking will most likely be applied. Just like the
-          linkage between the Interest and Temperament sections, Data
-          and Reasoning are coupled very tightly as well.
-          /
-Peder is strongly motivated to apply thinking to the big picture through
-holistic ideas, concepts, options, and strategies. This does not mean,
-suggest, or imply that thinking is kept only in a holistic context but
-it does mean that the first and constant priority or preference for
-consideration and focus are on the big picture. (Example: Peder more
-likely prefers to be an executive rather than a manager, and more
-inclined to be a manager rather than a supervisor.) Considering how
-pieces of the picture are brought in to the big picture stimulates
-motivation for the activity.
-Peder applies scientific/technical/logical thinking (to the fullest
-extent this ability exists) to identify, analyze, and solve challenges
-and/or problems; to collect data, establish facts, connect abstract and
-concrete variables, draw valid conclusions, determine appropriate
-action, devise strategies and systems to achieve objectives. (NOTE: This
-is engineering in the industrial and technical sense). Peder probably
-relates to the following quote as it illustrates this trait: "What marks
-the mind of the strategist is an intellectual elasticity or flexibility
-that enables him to come up with realistic responses to changing
-conditions...In strategic thinking, one first seeks a clear
-understanding of the particular character of each element of a situation
-and then makes the fullest possible use of human brainpower to
-restructure the elements in the most advantageous way." (Keniche Ohmae,
-The Mind of the Strategist)
-Peder is motivated and perhaps even mentally equipped for
-troubleshooting: to recognize or otherwise identify problems or
-developing problems in familiar operational or procedural areas; to
-tackle problems with intent to solve the problems and restore function
-to former levels or better. (NOTE: This requires onsite familiarity with
-those operations, a sense or suspicion of where things might or could
-break down, and savvy about ways to fix the problem).
-Given the vocational task, Peder's motivational level is adequate to
-participate where understanding of operational aspects of systems,
-procedures, and/or maintenance is required. Because Peder has only
-motivation for an activity that is based on repetition (in both function
-and time), it is likely that tenure will not be for the long haul unless
-Peder seeks, needs, or enjoys stability and routine. (NOTE: Motivation
-doesn't guarantee the ability or talent just as aptitude for an activity
-doesn't guarantee the motivation).
-For Peder, natural preferences can comfortably adapt to get into the
-"swing of things" and "go with the flow." Becoming synchronized with
-operational flow can be the result of many trait combinations, the most
-likely being mechanical savvy, attachment to the familiar, and attention
-to detail, plus certain social traits at even low motivational levels.
-It is likely that Peder is motivated in methodical, thorough, and
-routine activities as long as those activities are a necessary part of
-interests with stronger motivational levels. (Note: Many people like
-methodical, meticulous, routine activities as a break or departure from
-vocational activities that call for constant change, variety, quick
-decisions, risk, etc.)
-Peder is not motivated to participate where simple, routine, basic tasks
-are primary.
-    MATHEMATICAL CAPACITY
-    (How you relate to the applied usage of math)
-          /
-          Math is a natural talent like art or music and requires a
-          certain natural preference. In most instances, you have it or
-          you don't; you like it or you don't. If the individual has
-          talent for math, this section shows where the greatest
-          vocational interest and motivation occurs, and that is where
-          he/she has probably developed the most talent or could. Low
-          ratings for some or all of these factors imply that math, or
-          possibly that specific application of math, is not a
-          motivational factor to this individual.
-          /
-Peder is motivated to work with a wide variety of theoretical math
-concepts; make original application of those concepts; apply knowledge
-of advanced mathematical or statistical techniques to new areas of
-challenge, interest, or opportunity. Motivation is derived from
-conceptual, analytical, curious, and exploratory thinking. Research and
-theoretical logic probably appeal greatly to Peder's mind.
-Statistical, investigative use of mathematics plays a major role in what
-motivates Peder. This kind of math is valuable for many kinds of
-engineering activities: mechanical, systems, hydraulic, geological,
-computer, etc. Methodical, logical, pragmatic, and objectivism are
-central to the activity. Computers are typically essential for this
-work. The above examples of activities and descriptions most likely
-represent an ideal environment.
-(NOTE: Accounting Control of Numbers is "management math" because
-management uses it for tracking, analyzing, and verifying business
-activities and performance). Peder prefers management math because it
-includes a specialization for managing with math, i.e., making
-management decisions with knowledge gained from this level of
-mathematical activity. This includes budgets, operation-based forecasts,
-competitive risk analysis, etc. (NOTE: Chief Financial Officers,
-Comptrollers, bank officers, CPAs, and auditors rate high in this trait).
-Peder has a moderate motivation where business math related to
-commercial calculations and transactions are called for. This means
-there exists a natural ability to be competent and accurate with
-addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. (NOTE: Where the
-ability does not already naturally exist for Peder, in this instance,
-motivational levels support training, most likely).
-Peder does not prefer activities requiring verbatim perception,
-recording, and/or processing of details, especially where numbers are
-involved.
-Peder may simply lack interest or the motivation to express self
-vocationally through the use of basic math skills while possibly quite
-capable. This is most likely demonstrated by consistent inaccuracy when
-making basic arithmetic calculations.
-    LANGUAGE CAPACITY
-    (How you relate to the usage of language)
-          /
-          Four language traits are included in the narrative to cover
-          basic activities that utilize words. They aren't very
-          specific, but there are related factors for literary,
-          journalistic, and communicative activities in the Interest,
-          Temperament, Data, People, Aptitude and Reasoning sections. If
-          a high motivational and/or preference level exists for one or
-          more factors in this section, scan those other sections to
-          discover preferences the individual has for those activities.
-          Not all jobs call for orators or authors, while some jobs
-          require such skills.
-          /
-Peder is highly motivated to consider creative writing and communicating
-at professional levels. Preferences are holistic, conceptual,
-imaginative, and creative. "Ideas trigger more ideas" can probably be
-said about Peder. High motivational levels for this worker trait
-indicate an interactive combination of literary and philosophical
-traits. As Dean W. R. Inge said, "Literature flourishes best when it is
-half a trade and half an art." That probably makes a great deal of sense
-to Peder. Motivation at this level indicate preferences that probably
-include writing fiction, poetry, scripts for movies or television,
-advertising copy, marketing copy, teaching creative writing, etc.
-Peder is motivated to describe, explain, teach, illustrate, and
-interpret. This is a journalistic trait dedicated to inform people.
-Social, leadership, influential, technical, service, and functional
-traits are involved as well. Therefore, it is necessary to review all
-worker traits to more closely identify Peder's preferences relative to
-this trait.
-For Peder technical information management is not a motivational factor.
-There is seemingly too much detail, routine, and paper work to maintain
-interest beyond a brief period of time.
-Peder does not pay particularly close attention to non-motivational
-information, data, or detail such as elementary and basic instructions.
-The natural preference may be to simply use common sense or to
-experiment in order to figure it out.
