Approximate Time
WOWI is an untimed assessment. You will want to set aside enough time to complete at least one section. Your responses are saved as you go. You can take a break at any time and simply log back in to continue. If you are using a screen reader it takes, on average, an additional 30-45 minutes to complete.
| Section | Minutes |

| Career Interest Activities (CIA) | 10-15 |
| Career Training Potentials (CTP)* | 30-40 |
| Job Satisfaction Indicators (JSI) | 8-10 |
| TOTAL | 48-65 |
