2.2 WORKER TRAIT CODE CHARTS

Worker Trait Code Charts present a graphical representation of personal scores, listed in the Section “Worker Trait Scores”. Each chart represents one group of Traits, accordingly:

  • Interest in Job Content
  • Temperament for the Job
  • Aptitude for the Job
  • People
  • Things
  • Data
  • Reasoning
  • Mathematical Capacity
  • Language Capacity

The MAPP charts are divided into sectors representing individual Traits. Every Trait (chart sector) is marked by the label adjacent to it. The first two letters of a label specify the Trait group. The ending symbol of a label, digit or letter, specifies the Trait in the group as shown in the Section. 2.1, “Worker Trait Scores”. For example: IN_1 means: the “Interest in the Job” group and the “Physical work with materials, tools, equipment” trait. All possible score levels are marked as units on vertical axes of each chart as gridlines: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Personal scores for Traits are marked as the gray colored areas.

The sequence of Traits in each chart is fixed and reflects the sequence of highest to lowest scores for the Romantic type of the person, when reading a chart in a clock-wise direction. This means that a sequence of Traits in the charts is independent of personal scores and is in the same order for each appraisal. Construction of charts in this manner allows the reader to quickly assess the personal potential and compare it to the Romantic (or Classic) type as well as to other people scores if required.
