Overview
Based
on your interests, the JVIS will help guide you in a focused
direction while allowing you the freedom to explore options
within your top-ranked job groups and university major clusters.
One
of the most distinct advantages of the JVIS is that it uses
broad families (clusters) of related majors and jobs. Using
specific majors or occupations can be very limiting. Also,
it would be impractical to list all of the several thousands
of options that exist. These broad families (clusters) allow
great flexibility for you to explore many specific options
within the cluster. An example of a job cluster is "Occupations
in Law and Politics". An example of a job that falls
within the cluster is "Tax Attorney".
| Note: |
Please
remember that the sample majors or jobs are just a few
SAMPLES of many that exist in any given group. You are
encouraged to explore specific careers that fall under
your recommended Job Groups. |
Both
the "University Major Clusters" and "Job
Groups" results are obtained by comparing your JVIS
profile with that of the average person in each of these many
different subgroups.
Similarity
scores can range from +1.0 (Very Similar) through 0 (Neutral)
to - 1.0 (Very Dissimilar). A score is calculated for each
different cluster.
University
Major Clusters
The JVIS profiles of over 10,000 university students were
analyzed. These students were enrolled in more than 150 major
areas of study. Based on this analysis, 17 University Major
Clusters were identified. These 17 groups do not represent
particular major fields study. Instead, they are groups of
majors displaying very similar interest patterns. Using these
groups allows you to get a clear, yet comprehensive view of
how your interests compare to the interests of students in
a wide variety of fields.
The
"University Major Clusters" compares your Basic
Interest Scale profile to that of the average person in each
of the 17 different University Major Clusters. A score
is calculated separately for each University Major Cluster,
based on the JVIS responses. These are presented in order
from the most similar to the least similar. The top three
most similar University Major Clusters are highlighted. For
each of these the report lists several sample majors from
that cluster. Beware, the majors provided are ONLY SAMPLES.
Don't limit your exploration only to just these.
Job
Groups
The JVIS uses 32 Job Groups to comprehensively represent most
jobs in North America. This allows you to focus on groups,
which is easier than trying to consider the tens of thousands
of jobs available today, and the thousands of additional jobs
that will be available in the future.
| Note: |
Be
aware that the sample majors and specific occupations
listed in the Extended Report are SAMPLES ONLY. Don't
limit your exploration only to these particular jobs.
The report also lists detailed information for your top
three most similar job groups. This includes sample jobs
and resources including books and web links, that may
be useful for your job information search. |
