Dates of Last Update (DLUs) for jobs in the MVQS McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles 6th Edition (McDOT 2005), reflect Vocationology, Inc. updates, changes and additions through September, 2002. These include, but are not limited to: US DOL errata changes, OES, Occupational Unit Classification Code (OUC or O*NET Code), SIC, NAICS and SOC Code updates, as well as, updated MVQS McDOT Job Analysis Requirements Profiles and Vocational Quotient (VQ) Job Difficulty/Job Value Indices for all 12,975 jobs.

 

Important Note: Job Specific information in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, 4th Edition (DOT; US DOL 1977; Revised: 1991) is seriously out of date. There are no plans for the 4th Edition US DOL DOT to be updated to a US DOL 5th Edition DOT. Instead, it has been replaced with the much more general, much less job specific, data contained in the 1998 O*NET Database and Viewer Program v1.0. Job Demand Profiles in the 1998 O*NET Database were presented as non-job-specific, Mean Job Requirements Data Profiles aggregated across 483 of 1,298 identified element-level job demand component variables, averaged across 1,172 O*NET Occupational Groups with from N=1 to N=705, 9-digit DOT-Coded Specific Job Types each. This data was already far too general. And with the advent of the SOC Crosswalks, the ONET data has been further aggregated to around 851 TS groups.

 

Therefore, the MVQS McCroskey Dictionary of Occupational Titles - 2005, 6th Edition (McDOT 2005), containing Year-2005, updated job requirements profiles (across the 24 most vocationally significant worker traits), was developed. It is the only DOT Program approved for use with the McCroskey Transferable Skills Program - 2005 Ed., (MTSP 2005). These two programs have also been specifically designed and seamlessly integrated for use with the McCroskey TestPlot Program - 2005 Edition (McPLOT 2005). All three MVQS2005 Programs have been tested and run successfully on IBM™ PC Compatible Computers running under Windows™ 95, Windows™ 98 and Windows™ Millennium. To install and run these programs, you need a 586, 686, or faster CPU with 300-500 megabytes free on your hard disk, depending on the number of Job Banks installed and clients processed.
