Addressed relative validities of expressed choice v inventoried interests for predicting college major and career choice outcomes. Males provided data before college and three years later. Results highlight the importance of expressed interests in predicting vocational behavior and suggest ways in which expressed and inventoried interests might be…

The SVIB for men profiles of 202 male and female counselor education students were examined to determine the extent of sex differences. The differential predictive validity of the SVIB was also studies. The results of this study support the direction which the new Strong is to take. (Author)

High ability men, who were winners of National Merit Scholarships in 1966, were used to study the capacity of precollege Strong Vocational Interest Blanks (SVIB) to predict major and career choices at the end of college. Criterion groups contained 1,031 men in 16 major fields and 780 men planning to enter 10 career fields. SVIB Occupational and…
