Analyze test results.

Analyze test results. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 5 occupations and seen in 5 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Test characteristics of materials or products. in Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Materials .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 5 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 4 (80%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

The Anthropic Economic Index observes real AI use on 3 of these tasks, with a mean mapped-usage share of 0.060% per task.

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Interpret chemical reactions visible through sight glasses or on television monitors and review laboratory test reports for process adjustments. · Chemical Plant and System Operators · importance 4.5 · exposure with tools
• Analyze test data, making computations as necessary, to determine test results. · Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers · importance 4.2 · direct LLM exposure
• Investigate or report questionable test results. · Quality Control Analysts · importance 4.1 · exposure with tools
• Calculate gas ratios to detect deviations from specifications, using testing apparatus. · Gas Plant Operators · importance 3.8 · no direct exposure
• Calculate test result values, using standard formulas. · Petroleum Pump System Operators, Refinery Operators, and Gaugers · importance 3.5 · direct LLM exposure

Occupations that perform this

• Chemical Plant and System Operators
• Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, and Weighers
• Quality Control Analysts
• Gas Plant Operators
• Petroleum Pump System Operators, Refinery Operators, and Gaugers
