Specific Tasks Performed in the Occupation (continued)
Instructions: The next section presents a list of tasks. A task is an action or set of actions
performed together to accomplish an objective. This list is specific to the occupation you are
describing.
For each task, please make the following three ratings: Relevance, Frequency, and
Importance. As an occupational expert, first consider the different tasks performed by
workers in the occupation. Then, with this information in mind, please rate each task as if
you were performing work that is typical of the occupation. The ratings are described as
RELEVANCE. If the task is NOT RELEVANT at all to performance of the occupation
mark through the "0" in the NOT RELEVANT column. Carefully read the task before
deciding whether it is RELEVANT or NOT RELEVANT to the occupation. If you select the
"0" in the NOT RELEVANT column, however, there is no need to complete the
IMPORTANCE and FREQUENCY ratings described below. If the task is part of the
occupation, rate IMPORTANCE and FREQUENCY.
FREQUENCY. (Do not complete if NOT RELEVANT was selected.) Ask yourself, "How
often is this task performed in the occupation?" For example,"Interact with potential
customers" is a task that an employee in one occupation might perform only "once per week
or less," but an employee in another occupation might perform "hourly or more often."
Rate the FREQUENCY with which a task is performed by marking through the appropriate
number, from 1 (indicating that the task is performed once per year or less often) to 7
(indicating that the task is performed hourly or more often) on the FREQUENCY scale.
IMPORTANCE. (Do not complete if NOT RELEVANT was selected.) Ask yourself,
"How important is this task to performance of the occupation?" For example, "Develop
objectives and strategies to guide the organization" might be very important for an employee
in one occupation, but less important for another occupation. For the second occupation,
however, "Provide performance feedback to subordinates" might be very important.
Rate importance of the task for performance of the occupation by marking through the
appropriate number, from 1 (indicating that the task is of no importance) to 5 (indicating that
the task is extremely important) on the IMPORTANCE scale.
