Note: For all the OB Assessments, instruct students to "reverse" the bolded items (V2 in this case). 1 becomes 7, 2 becomes 6, 3 becomes 5, 5 becomes 3, 6 becomes 2, and 7 becomes 1. After they should perform the calculations in the formula. Theaverage scorefor this index is shown on the slide (150 in this case). Recognize that this is an admittedly arbitrary way of classifying "high" vs. "low" but is an indicator of how individuals in these occupations might find what they do as satisfying - to some extent.
