The WRQ provides useful information to help users accomplish the following tasks:

• Structure job-related functional capacity evaluations (FCEs)
  
• Structure reasonable accommodations after disabling injury or illness
  
• Generate a list of jobs that closely match a former job, taking functional limitations into account
  
• Generate a list of jobs for an individual with functional limitations by rating individual capabilities and tolerances
  
• Assess reliability of ratings
  
• Set item limits to model occupational impacts of functional limitations
  
• Read a WRQ report
  
• Use the O*NET to research the content of unfamiliar jobs
  
• Collect self-ratings
  
• Assess convergence: The Compare jobs button
  
• Compare Job 1 and Job 2
  
• Use the WRQ to support disability determination for Social Security
  
• Estimate wage loss
  
• Estimate time and expense of retraining
  
• Use WRQ information to negotiate vocational issues or take vocational testimony in court
  

Note: Data from large-scale studies of WRQ applications are not yet available. The following applications of PAQ technology are driven by situational need, scientific logic and the web-based availability of empirical information resulting from analysis of more than 300,000 jobs in about 1,500 organizations. We can help design research to validate hypotheses implied in applications of PAQ/WRQ job information.
