Work Style scale
Here is more information about the Strong Interest Inventory® and the Work Style scale of the Personal Style scales. Remember, these scales are bipolar; they go in both directions. That means a low score is fine. It merely points to the direction, or pole the person is attracted to. There is no inherent value in a high score either. Again, it only shows the direction of the person's interest. Also note that people whose scores fall between 46 and 54 often are attracted to elements from both poles. You can take the Strong Interest Inventory online now by clicking here or on the image to the left.
