Work alone and make decisions. Workers are able to try out their own ideas, make decisions on their own, and work with little or no supervision.

Job security and good working conditions. There is usually a steady flow of interesting work, and the pay and conditions are generally good.

Results oriented. Workers are able to use their strongest abilities, giving them a feeling of accomplishment.

Advancement and the potential to lead. Workers are recognised for the work that they do, they may give directions and instructions to others, and they are looked up to in their company and their community.

Serve and work with others. Workers usually get along well with each other, do things to help other people, and are rarely pressured to do things that go against their sense of right and wrong.

Starting up and carrying out projects. Leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes require risk taking and often deal with business.

Following set procedures and routines. Working with numbers and details more than with ideas, usually following rules.

Working with people. Helping or providing service to others.
