How it's measured
O*NET scores each occupation on this interest on a 0–7 Occupational Interest (OI) scale, where higher means the work more strongly rewards this interest. The figures here are those occupation-level scores — a description of what kind of work each job involves, not a ranking of which job is better, harder, or higher-paid.
| Economy-wide average | 1.92 / 7 | Mean across all 891 scored occupations |
| Range across occupations | 1.00–6.86 | Lowest to highest occupation score (spread 5.86) |
| Prevalence vs. other interests | 67th pct | Where this interest's average ranks among all O*NET interest dimensions |
