7. Enjoyment Theory
Harrison Assessments methodology considers three key issues
related to work satisfaction and retention:
1) The degree to which a person’s preferred tasks fit the job
2) The degree to which a person’s interests fit the job,
3) The degree to which a person’s work environment preferences
fit the job.

8. Paradoxical traits are two
characteristics that may
appear to be opposites but
are in fact synergistic.
Distinguishes genuine
strengths from strong traits
by pairing traits that are
paradoxical
When both traits are
strong, there is a unique
strength. When only one is
strong, it becomes a
potential derailer
