Kuder interest patterns of psychologists

Abstract

The Kuder interest patterns for 4 different groups of psychologists (clinical, industrial, counseling, experimental) and 2 groups of psychology graduate students were studied. All psychologists groups had high scores on the Scientific and Literary Scales, and significant differences in means were found on several scales between the groups. The differences between the mean scores of the psychologists and the students make it seem possible that preference patterns are strongly affected by professional experience.
