A low score on a specific interest does not necessarily indicate an aversion to those types of tasks. An individual may simply be indifferent toward jobs with those types of activities.

You should not infer any negative outcomes based on a candidate’s interests not aligning with a certain motivational interest, as the candidate may still be able to perform those skills or tasks. However, the candidate is less likely to be motivated to complete that type of work than those with a high score for a particular interest.
