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.

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.

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

Supportive management that stands behind employees. Workers are treated fairly by their company, they are supported by management, and have supervisors who train them well.

Ideas and thinking. Searching for facts and figuring out problems in your head.

Practical, hands-on work. Often with plants and animals, or materials like wood, tools, and machinery.

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.
