The Organization dimension refers to organizational habit formation. It measures dimensional awareness, the sense that things are out of place, the attitude the individual has about how his or her own work is best performed and his or her orientation towards planning.
Scores 1 to 3
Low scorers, stanine levels 1-3, tend to feel that planning is a waste of time and generally don't bother with planning. They simply do not plan their time and activities. They are basically good temporizers who flow and conform to circumstances as they arise. They prefer to be extemporaneous in their speaking and tend to come off well under those circumstances. They do not fit well into a highly bureaucratic, highly structured employment situation. Low scorers who are simultaneously extremely sharp prefer to work in new and different situations where the challenge is to learn what innovations can be accomplished.
Scores 4 to 6
Individuals who score in the average, 4-6 range, organize to an adequate degree. They are generally aware of their priorities, but are able to change and adapt their schedule to meet deadlines or handle interruptions or changes.
Scores 7 to 9
High scorers, stanine levels 7-9, are oriented to plan their time and activities. They are technically disciplined and emphasize order and control in their environment. At the extreme, these individuals want to determine all their alternatives well in advance. They require a good deal of structure and are lost without it. They prefer to not embark on a project unless they have a detailed plan thoroughly in mind and may spend so much time planning that they leave too little time for implementation of plans.
Testing should be 1/3 of your hiring decision, and by using it in interviews, references and training you get so much more out of your testing investment!
