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,
2) 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:
1) 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.
