The interests of industrial psychology students

Abstract

This reports the use of 5 keys for psychologists using the Strong Vocational Interest Blank which were developed by P. H. Kriedt. The application of these keys and norms correctly identified the group of students in graduate work in industrial psychology at Purdue with greater than chance accuracy. There was some indication of an interest in guidance present. The group scored much higher on the industrial key than on any of the others, but the keys failed to differentiate students according to their judged performance in graduate school.
