An Analysis of the Structure of Vocational Interests.

The internal structural relationships of scales from the SVIB, the Kuder OIS, Holland's VPI, the MVII, and the new ACT Vocational Interest Profile were compared. The configurations of the scales for all the inventories were found to be similar and to conform to the circular configurations of interest proposed by Roe and Holland. The common configuration of vocational interests was used to reconcile previous contradictory research results about the comparability of interest scores from various instruments and as a basis for counselor interpretation.
