LANGUAGE

Four Language traits are included in the narrative to cover basic activities which use words. They aren't very specific-but there are related factors for literary, journalistic, and communicative activities in the Interest, Temperament, Data, People, Aptitude, and Reasoning sections. If a high rating exists for one or more factors in this section, scan those other sections to discover talents the individual has for those activities. Not all jobs call for orators or authors, and some jobs require such skills.
