This file contains the Work Styles Impact ratings and Distinctiveness Rank assignments for each O*NET-SOC occupation.
Work Styles ratings are presented as two scales. WI reports the Impact rating of each Work Style on performance of an occupation’s work activities and in relevant work contexts, from -3.00 (very detrimental) to +3.00 (very beneficial). DR reports the “distinctiveness rank” of a Work Style for an occupation, which presents up to 10 beneficial Work Styles which distinguish an occupation from others. A DR rating of 0.00 indicates the Work Style is not part of the ranked list.
The file is displayed in 9 tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Title, Element ID, Element Name, Scale ID, Scale Name, Data Value, Date, and Domain Source. The 9 fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 37,422 rows of data in this file.
