Vocational interests of psychologists

Abstract

On the basis of a pilot study with 95 psychologists, it was found that the 1938 psychologist key for the Strong Vocational Interest Blank was not satisfactory. A new key was developed by contrasting the responses of 1048 psychologists with those of Strong's 1938 professional men-in-general group. Except for the marketing psychologists, all of the sub-groups have a mean score of A. Subkeys were constructed for experimental, clinical, guidance, and industrial psychologists. The new keys are being used by Strong in place of the 1938 key. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
