This document discusses several quantitative job analysis techniques: the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ), the Department of Labor (DOL) procedure, and functional job analysis. The PAQ is a 194-item instrument that quantitatively scores jobs based on decision making, skills, physical activity, equipment operation, and information processing. The DOL procedure standardizes how jobs can be rated, classified, and compared based on data, people, and things. Functional job analysis builds on the DOL method by providing additional details on tasks, objectives, and training needs as well as the required reasoning, judgment, and verbal skills.
