Information Overload!!!

• The PGI profile is designed to provide the
  information that is most appropriate to each test
  taker.
• While all scores are provided on the Technical
  Information page, most people are not interested
  in all these.
• Different people will get DIFFERENT output
  depending upon their scores

Three ways in which your profile is customized

• Specific interest reported for you basic
  interests
• Endorsement of high or low prestige interests
• Similarity of Interests (activity liking) and
  Competence

10
Main information Basic Interest Circle

  basic interest circle.
• This is the equator of the Personal Globe.
• The colored lines represent the magnitude of each
  score.
• The single line from the origin represents an
  easy to understand summary of the scores
• The length of the line represents the strength of
  your interest

scores warrant)

  work harder than most at difficult tasks.
• Low prestige refers to interests that do not
  require as much work and are not as difficult.

Interest vs. Competence Perceptions

  Competence scores is printed ONLY if these are
  substantially different for that person.
• It can be helpful to point out areas where there
  is interest but no perceptions of competence.
