Relationships between Strong Vocational Interest scores and other attitude and personality factors

Abstract

Fifty-five men and 122 women were used in studying the relationship between scores on the Strong Blank, the Minnesota Personality Scale, and the Thurstone and Chave scales (No. 22, Form A). Highest and lowest scores on the interest scale were singled out for analysis. With the results for men and women kept separate, correlations were calculated between the interest scores and the personality and attitude variables. Interests concerned with organized social affairs and friendships were found to be significantly related to Groups I, II, and IX on the Strong test. Medium correlations are reported between religious attitudes and vocational interests for men but not for women, and scores denoting neuroticism showed little relationship with any interest scores.
