This file contains the specific interest area numeric profile data and display rankings for each O*NET-SOC occupation.
Specific Interest Area ratings are presented as two scales: OI reports how characteristic each interest area is to the occupation, and DS reports the display order used in O*NET OnLine.
The file is displayed in seven tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Element ID, Element Name, Scale ID, Data Value, Date, and Domain Source. The seven fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 73,062 rows of data in this file.
