Holland, John L.; Nafziger, Dean H. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1975

The results support the validity of the SDS. (Author)

Holland, John L.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1976
The realistic competency and activity scales of the Self-Directed Search were revised to learn if women's scores on these scales could be increased without reducing their concurrent and construct validity for men and women. Results indicate the revisions increase women's realistic scores, but fail to affect their high point codes. (Author)

Holland, John L. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1976
