Describe how your results are organized? (from p.2)
What are your 3 highest theme code? (from p.3)
What interest environment or 3 themes you are most interested in? (from p.4)
What are your highest 5 Basic Interest Scales (BIS)? (from p.4)
What are your least favorite areas of interest? (from p.4)
Under each interest area there are a total of 25 Basic Interest Scale (BIS). Select the 3 highest BIS scores, identify the Interest areas, BIS category and your score.
See example below:
My sample response to question 6.
Example: this is how I would answer this question:
#1 – Enterprising – Entrepreneurship, STD Score 65
#2 – Enterprising – Marketing and Advertising, STD Score 63
#3 – Social – Religion and Spirituality, STD Score 58
#4 – Artistic – Writing & Mass Communication, STD Score 57
My #3 Highest STD score was 58 under Social theme in Religion and Spirituality…. I don’t want to pursue a career in that area, but it’s an important factor in my personal life. Therefore, I selected a 4th theme to have more options.
Note:
If your assessment shows a strong interest with high STD score, under any of the BIS areas that you feel you may not want to pursue a career in that area- try to see how else you could use it. You can look at it as how it could be used as a hobby, or other parts of personal life (remember, there are no black and white results, be flexible and try to look at it as general information about your interest themes).
If you have more than 3 high BIS scores, you can select more, but the key is to narrow things down and make the decision making a little easier, please explain why you selected more than 3 areas, if you decide to go that direction.
If you have NO high scores, you can select the first 3 highest scores, even if there is no recommendation (some people are low scoring and can’t express their interest in any particular area). Your other option would be to take the assessment again, but the second time around, try to be more expressive and serious about the assessment.
List your top 10 STRONG occupations. (from p. 5)
List the occupations of dissimilar interest (from p.5)
Select the 3 highest scoring occupational scales, identify their theme codes (from p. 6)
For example: from the PPT sample the first high scoring occupation was:
#1. Theme code- AE, Artistic Occupational Scale- Advertising Account Manager, STD score 60
Select your Personal Style Scales Preferences (the ones that relate to you), give an example as how it may relate to you and your future work? (from p.9)
Look at the summary of all of your results, use this page to complete your STRONG Summary Report. Do you see the same code coming up over and over again- How would that fit your occupation? (from p.10)
