Examines the vocational aptitude patterns of males and females and Blacks and Whites. Work samples from the Micro-TOWER System of Vocational Evaluation were used to assess verbal, numerical, clerical perception, motor, and spatial aptitudes. Many differences were revealed of which counselors should be aware. (Author)

The purpose of the study was to compare predictions of freshmen through senior year grades for black and white students by sex for new freshmen who entered on university in fall 1968 and 1969. Results showed that different patterns of prediction for different race/sex subgroups emerged. (Author)

The predictive validity of the American College Test (ACT) for two classes totaling 2,289 students was investigated at successive intervals over four years of college. Correlational coefficients and expectancy tables substantiated the validity of the ACT for prediction of GPA, for progress, and for graduation within four years. (Author)

The Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory profiles for female and male pharmacy students were compared. Female and male students obtained similar interest patterns when separate norms for men and women were used. (Author)

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)

This article describes the design and testing of a computer-based program that administers and scores the California Psychological Inventory. Results indicate a considerable difference between the mean CPI subscale results of the computer administered and traditionally administered groups, particularly for males. (Author)

Standard scores on comparable scales of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and the ACT Interest Inventory were intercorrelated to test construct validity of the instruments. Significant correlations were found for the comparable scales demonstrating construct validity for male and female high school students (N=91). (Author)

The appropriateness of raw score reports of human traits is questioned, especially in light of the support provided for Holland's theory by normed scores and the stereotypic career options suggested to males and females by raw scores. (Author)

Separate-sex norms are no longer applicable for the interpretation of aptitude test scores. The Differential Aptitude Tests must adopt combined-sex norms in order to remain as an effective measurement and counseling instrument. (Author)

Graduating seniors in the School of Business who were in either accounting, marketing, or behavioral studies and were seeking a career consistent with their area's concentration were compared for their scores on the Self-Directed Search. The accounting group was consistently differentiated from the other group. (Author)

The project described by this article attempted to determine whether there was greater sexual stereotyping in interest inventories when individuals were answering occupational titles or occupational activity items. Students (N=87) were asked to respond to the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) which has both types of items. Results are…

Data on the reliability and validity of the sex-valances scales are summarized along with data from previous research on sex-balanced scales and reporting procedures. Data include that sex differences currently found in interest inventory scores may simply be an unfortunate legacy from an era that took traditional sex roles for granted. (Author)

Prediger confuses observations about the data with Holland's theoretical statement, performs some uninterpretable analyses, omits much relevant data, and provides an incomplete account of what psychometric authorities have said about raw scores in interest inventories. (Author)

Resolutions of the 1970 national convention platform of the National Organization for Women were paraphrased to form items for the nine subscales of the Attitudes Toward Feminist Issues Scale (ATFI Scale). Students' subscale scores and total scores were submitted to a three-factor analysis of variance. Results are discussed. (Author)

The scale scores of Kuder Occupational Interest Survey (KOIS) profiles of 1,084 males and females were converted to intraindividual form by means of a z-score transformation. The results are discussed in terms of their utility for interpretation of high ranking scales. (Author)
