A review of five interrelated studies showed that certain preselected SVIB occupational scales were indicative of life styles related to accident incurrence. The hypothetical formulation underlying these studies was that vocational interest scores reflect enduring personal characteristics. (Author)

This is a report of the development of a system of scoring the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) for Men. The scales which were developed supplement the occupational scales. Their main concern is identifying important clusters of interest which can be generalized beyond a single occupation. Development of the scales was based on an item…

To further understanding of the meaning of other-sex scores on the New Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory, correlations of occupational scores on both forms of the old SVIB with masculinity were studied in a sample of 116 female counseling clients. Differences in mean scores for scales appearing on both forms were highly related to the masculinity…

The 1966 SVIB scoring keys were investigated and found to contain an average of 214 fewer items per occupational scale than the 1938 scoring keys. The shorter scales are less reliable than the longer scales on the 1966 SVIB. (Author)

For a heterogeneous sample, the correlation coefficients between the Basic Interest Scales and the Occupational Scales and between the Basic Interest Scales and the Nonoccupational Scales of the Strong Vocational Interest Bland for Women (SVIB-W) are presented. Although the pattern of intercorrelations may be somewhat different for other samples,…

A RETESTING WAS MADE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEASURED INTERESTS AND THE SELECTION OF A MEDICAL SPECIALTY. SPECIFICALLY, THE RESEARCH REPORTED HERE ATTEMPTED TO DETERMINE WHY THE STRONG VOCATIONAL INTEREST BLANK (SVIB) AND THE MEDICAL SPECIALIST PREFERENCE BLANK (MSPB) SCALES FAIL TO PREDICT EVENTUAL MEDICAL SPECIALTY. ALL OF THE ANALYSES OF AN…

In order to develop tools for use in the selection and vocational-educational guidance of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen, three empirically-based scales, designed using the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB), were developed to predict three criteria: (1) disenrollment for academic reasons, (2) disenrollment for motivational reasons, and (3)…

The revised and renamed Strong Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) is examined to determine if the occupational and sex biases present in the older Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) were eliminated. It is concluded that an occupational bias (favoring professional rather than blue-collar occupations) still exists in the SCII, although there is…
