Things: Engineering, Operating, Sensory/Physical
Things: Engineering, operating, working with things, manipulation of materials and processes, and cognizance of operational and mechanical forces or objects, highlight this Worker Trait Code section. None of the factors in this section are directly related to people nor call for exclusive mental talents. However, these factors do call for the interaction and interplay between mental, sensory, physical, and mechanical skills. If the individual has a natural mechanical savvy, and likes to work with his/her hands, then this becomes a highly important and relevant Worker Trait Code section.
The 8 measured Worker Trait Codes are:
0 Engineering, technical planning, installation
1 Precision/quality: technical, mechanical standards
2 Operate/control: on-site machine operation
3 Drive/Operate: mobile and heavy equipment; controls
4 Manipulate: physically manage material processes
5 Tending: monitoring/adjusting gauges, switches, controls
6 Feeding/offbearing: manual labor timed by machines
7 Handling: basic, routine manual labor
