TABLE 3.

Partial correlations of job satisfaction and life satisfaction (t1–t3) with the fit of an individual’s character strengths profile with the profile of the corresponding occupational group (t1), controlled for sex and age.

	Fit (absolute scores)	Fit (ipsative scores)
Job satisfaction
t1	0.03	−0.10**
t2	0.04	−0.03
t3	0.03	−0.08*
Life satisfaction
t1	−0.11***	−0.09**
t2	−0.06	−0.07*
t3	−0.13***	−0.08*

N = 868–870 (t1), N = 684–690 (t2), and N = 668–677 (t3). Absolute fit = Euclidian distance between the character strengths raw scores of an individual and his/her occupational group’s scores. Relative fit: Euclidian distance between the character strengths ipsative scores of an individual and his/her occupational group’s ipsative scores. ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01, and ^∗∗p < 0.001 (one-tailed tests).
