Sincerity

Work style · O*NET

Sincerity is one of O*NET's work styles — the personality tendencies people bring to a job that affect how well the work is done , grouped under Interpersonally Oriented. O*NET describes it as: "A tendency to be genuine and sincere in interactions with others at work, without concern for personal gain or self-interest." It is rated for 891 occupations and ranks low among work styles by how much it matters on average.

How it's measured

O*NET scores each occupation on this work style with a Work Styles Impact (WI) value — higher means the style matters more to doing the work well. The figures here are those occupation-level scores: a description of which jobs lean on this trait, not a judgment about pay, difficulty, or whether a job is "good," and not a claim about any individual worker.
