Notes:
- The skill levels for a particular WorkKeys test range from the lowest level that employers typically need, to a level beyond which specialized training is required. Skill level ranges are 4 or 5 points, depending on the particular skill assessed. Adjacent skill levels can be distinguished both in terms of job requirements and individual skill development.
- The WorkKeys Business Writing test was introduced in 2002. Therefore, job profile data were not yet available to include Business Writing in this study.
