wiry, Made of wire; like wire; tough; lean and sinewy. [Comment: As a potential employee debates whether to work for Wirthlin Worldwide, a negative factor to weigh is that sitting at a phone desk all day does nothing to promote the body's muscle mass, whereas many other jobs, such as construction, promote physical strength.]

wise, Having the power of discerning and judging correctly. [Comment: The irony of this job is that while following directions precisely and recording responses verbatim would seem to be robotic in nature, actually there is a great deal of discernment required in the formulating of the questions and in the general interaction with the participant to assure that the interviewer asserts as little bias as possible into the results of the survey.]
