For ratings which use the Level (LV) scale, element-specific anchors provide sample activities corresponding to specific points along the scale. Anchors are included for five content areas: Abilities, Knowledge, Essential Skills, Transferable Skills, and Work Activities.

This file includes all scale anchors utilized in the data collection survey where the scale anchors are variable and item specific. Scale anchors are not included for those survey items where the scale anchors are fixed; this includes the five-point importance scale and the seven-point task frequency scale. For information about the data collection survey, see OMB Clearance.
