WOIS I & II
(3 activites)
It is important to take these surveys seriously and not just click "A" for every question. Your results will impact future assignments and choices you have in this class and the other Ram Prep classes. Most students find it very interesting to see their results and appreciate the information that comes from them. They aren't difficult questions - it is as fast to answer silly as it is honestly - so please do yourself a favor and get good information!
Most training after HS costs $$$$. Better to change your mind about careers now when it is FREE, not after you've been to tech school or college and realize, "Oops, this job is NOT for me!"
You should be able to complete both surveys in one day.
WOIS Interest Profiler
“The Interest Profiler helps you find out what your interests are and how they relate to the world of work.”
- From the HS homepage click on Library and then WOIS.
- Click on “Assessments” on the left navigation panel.
- Click on “Interest Profiler.”
- Click “Start.”
- When you are finished responding to all the statements, Click on “Go to Next Page.” If you have missed answering any of the questions, the page will appear with unanswered selections marked in red. Respond to those statements and Click on “Go to Next Page.”
- When you finish answering the questions on all 5 pages, type your name in the box, then click on “Finish.”
- A table displaying all of the interest areas will appear on the next page. Your score for each area is also displayed in the table.
- Copy and paste these results into a Word document and save them to your Ram Prep file. You should also print a copy.
- Click on the related careers to the right of your highest interest score under “Related WOIS Careers.”
- Go through the list and click on an occupation that interests you. If you do not find one that interests you then click on “Back to Results” and click on related careers to the right of the next highest score.
- Go to your highest interest area, choose three careers from that list that seem interesting to you and write those down on this WORKSHEET.
- Go to your second highest interest area, choose three careers from that list that seem interesting to you and write those down on the same worksheet.
- Turn in your career selections and your survey results.
WOIS Work Values
“The Work Importance Locator can help you learn more about your work values and can help you decide what is important to you in a job.”
- From the HS homepage click on Library, then WOIS and click “Assessments.”
- Click on “Work Importance Locator” under Explore Occupations.
- Read through the “Getting Started” page.
- Click “Place the Cards.”
- You will see rather large table with different “cards” as empty spaces.
- By pointing to a tile on the board you are telling the program how important that characteristic is to you. After placing all your tiles, click “You’re Finished.”
- Two work value areas will be displayed on the next page, note these two areas on the back of this sheet.
- Go through the list of careers and click on an occupation that interests you.
- Write down three careers that are interesting to you on the WORKSHEET. Remember: you can not save to your portfolio (as it asks you to do) you must use the accompanying worksheet to save your material!
- Turn in the worksheet.
Work Values as School Values
Whether you are doing it with or without thought, you are practicing to be an adult. If you procrastinate now, you probably will as an adult. If you are friendly and kind now, you probably will be as an adult. Of course, everyone can learn new things, and even new behaviors, but we must do so INTENTIONALLY. That is, we must decide how we want to be different and then work for it.
It might be a stretch to think of values in a full time job since most of you haven't had one yet. This activity will give you a chance to apply the values to full time learning, something you've all been doing for years!
