The instrument includes 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse statements reflecting attitudes toward work, productivity, and preferred pace of activity; results are commonly used to inform discussions of workload balance, overextension risk, and relative passivity. Occupational Status is attributed to Donald E. Super and John L. Holland.
