Responses are keyed to yield scores in eleven interest areas and five clusters. A Cluster Quotient is obtained for each examinee from a combination of related interest area scores.

The interest categories are: Animal Care, Automotive, Building Trades, Clerical, Food Service, Horticulture, Housekeeping, Laundry Service, Materials Handling, Patient Care, and Personal Service. The clusters are: Mechanical, Outdoor, Mechanical/Outdoor, Clerical/Personal Care, and Food Service/Handling Operations.
