Borgen, Fred H. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1972
The SVIB Occupational and Basic scales were compared. The Basic scales, as a predictor set, performed as well as the Occupational scales. The results support the use of the Basic scales in research and counseling and exemplify the utility of the discriminant function method for the validation of interest measures. (Author)

This longitudinal study assessed the power of the Occupational Scales (OSs) of the Strong Interest Inventory to predict the participants' occupations 12 years after Time 1 testing, 8 years after Time 2 testing, and concurrently at Time 3. Results indicated that OS scores predicted occupational membership at a level substantially higher than chance…

Reilly, Richard; Echternacht, Gary – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
Criterion-keying of interest inventories involves selecting items which best distinguish a group of incumbents in a particular occupation from another group intended to represent the population of interest. This practice is questioned here and data are presented to support the author's contention. (Author/JKS)

Two approaches to the validation of occupational interest inventories are considered. The approaches vary according to whether one is interested in predicting students' occupational preferences as opposed to assisting counselors in advisement. One empirical example using female college students is presented. (Author/JKS)
