Validity of Minnesota occupational rating scales

Abstract

150 counseling records including scores on each of the following tests: AGCT (Civilian Form), Bennett (Form BB) Minnesota Clerical, and Meier-Graves Art Test, were used to draw profiles from percentiles on these tests for each of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles categories. They were then compared with the profiles for the same occupational groups published in the Minnesota Occupational Rating Scales. 9 occupations are published in this paper, showing a comparison of the Minnesota profile with the experimental profile for each of the occupations. Similarities are greatest between the two profiles in the case of "managerial" work and least in the case of "personal service" work. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
