The MJDQ can also be used to create ORPs locally. Additionally, in contrast to the two previously published volumes, the 1986 volume presents the ORP profiles in a format similar to the format in which the MIQ is presented. These reinforcer factors are analogous, in describing the work environment, to the value scores on the MIQ that describe the individual s work personality. The table of summary statistics presents data for the counselor or research worker who desires more precise information on the ratings of various reinforcers in each occupation. The scale values and their standard errors, which are used to plot the graphic profile, are included in this table, along with other data used to identify Highly Descriptive and Moderately Descriptive reinforcers.
Clusters are groups of occupations that have similar ORPs.
All 185 occupations have been assigned to one of the ORC clusters, which replace clusters used in the two earlier volumes of Occupational Reinforcer Patterns. One index lists the ORPs by their DOT code, followed by their DOT title and ORP title. The second index lists the ORPs in alphabetical order by their DOT title, followed by their DOT code and ORP title.
