Discriminant Analysis of Holland's Occupational Types Using the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire.

Bolton, Brian

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v27 n2 p210-17 Oct 1985

Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) profiles for 69 occupational groups were analyzed according to Holland's six occupational types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Convention. Three discriminant functions, labeled Independence, Extraversion, and Anxiety, enabled correct classification of 75 percent of the groups to Holland's types. (Author/ABB)
