Academic achievement and Strong occupational level scores

Abstract

134 Arts and Sciences Juniors were given the Strong Vocational Interest Blanks. Also available were scores on the ACE Psychological Examination; quality point ratios were obtained from the files of the University Counseling Service and the Registrar. There were two purposes to the study: first, to see whether, at the senior college level where occupational choices are most clearly set in terms of major courses, Occupational Level predicts differential success; and second, to allow for the effect of appropriate vocational choice, judged in terms of profiles on the Strong test. No differences were found between major study groups in terms of OL scores. It was suggested that the reason for these negative findings lay in a restriction of range on all three variables measured.
