Stability of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank for men

Abstract

Inspection of test-retest reliability studies for the SVIB revealed that 2 factors were important when considering the stability of this instrument: Ss' initial test ages and length of test-retest intervals. To further investigate these 2 factors, median test-retest correlation coefficients were computed for over 1400 college educated males who had been tested with the SVIB at various ages and retested at varying intervals. Greater stability resulted the older the S at initial testing and the shorter the time lapse to retesting. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
