This assignment will help ensure your career analysis aligns with your personal preferences for social communication, work structure, and sensory stimulation in the workplace.
Step 1: Open your Strengths Profile, and locate Section 5: Work Environment Preferences.
Step 2: Add a subsection titled “Work Environment Preferences.”
Step 3: For each of the following workplace considerations, choose a number (1–5) that best represents your preference.
| Category | Description | Rating Level |
| Social Communication | How often and in what way do you prefer to communicate at work? | 1 = Very infrequent, structured (mostly independent work) 2 = Infrequent, work-related interactions (only as needed for tasks) 3 = Semi-frequent, some social elements (routine but purposeful communication) 4 = Frequent, mix of work and social communication (team-focused, collaboration required) 5 = Very frequent, complex communication (fast-paced, socially dynamic workplace) |
| Structure | How structured and predictable do you prefer your work environment setting? | 1 = Highly structured, almost no change (routine-based, clear procedures) 2 = Structured with flexibility (some minor adjustments over time) 3 = Semi-structured, occasional change (mix of routine & problem-solving) 4 = Loosely structured, frequent change (fluid, adaptable environment) 5 = Unstructured, unpredictable (daily changes, fast-moving work) |
| Stimulation | How much sensory input (noise, people, movement, visual stimulation, etc.) do you prefer in your work environment? | 1 = Low-stimulation, quiet (calm, focused, minimal distractions) 2 = Moderate, some activity (light background noise, manageable pace) 3 = Semi-active, periodic high-energy moments (active but controlled environment) 4 = Busy, high-energy environment (constant movement, social engagement) 5 = Fast-paced, highly stimulating (loud, energetic, lots happening at once) |
Step 4: In Section 5 of your Strengths Profile, add your selected rating level (1–5) next to each category.
