| Purpose: | Provide a mapping of O*NET-SOC codes (occupations) to Work Styles ratings. |
Structure and Description:
| Column | Type | Column Content |
|---|
| onetsoc_code | Character(10) | O*NET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data) |
| element_id | Character Varying(20) | Content Model Outline Position (see Content Model Reference) |
| scale_id | Character Varying(3) | Scale ID (see Scales Reference) |
| data_value | Decimal(5,2) | Rating associated with the O*NET-SOC occupation |
| date_updated | Date | Date when data was updated |
| domain_source | Character Varying(30) | Source of the data |
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 six tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Element ID, Scale ID, Data Value, Date, and Domain Source. The six fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 37,422 rows of data in this file.
