This file contains the general occupational interest (RIASEC) high-point codes and numeric profile data for each O*NET-SOC occupation.

Interest ratings are presented as two scales: OI reports the RIASEC level of each interest and IH presents “high-point codes”, the numbers of the RIASEC scales for the first, second and/or third highest ratings.

The high-point values represent the following elements:

	0.00 = No high point available
	1.00 = Realistic
	2.00 = Investigative
	3.00 = Artistic
	4.00 = Social
	5.00 = Enterprising
	6.00 = Conventional

The file is displayed in 9 tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Title, Element ID, Element Name, Scale ID, Scale Name, Data Value, Date, and Domain Source. The 9 fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 8,307 rows of data in this file.
