What does Birkman mean by Interests?

Interests represent what you like to do and where you prefer to direct your energies.

• Kinds of activities you like (not necessarily skills) 
• High scores indicate a strong Interest > 75
• Low scores indicate areas that you are not interested in, or may want to avoid < 25
• They drive and energize you 
• Mid-scores – moderate Interests; not moving toward; not trying to avoid
• 85 and above – activity is more than an Interest, it’s something you need to have (a life mandate) to feel fulfilled
