Stated vocational aims and Strong interest test scores of high school senior girls

Abstract

One-fourth of the stated vocational choices of 297 girl senior students from the pre-college, commercial, and general and home economics groups of two Flint, Michigan, high schools was in office work. The concentration of highest Strong scores was in stenography, office work, home-making, and nursing—4 occupations between which the Strong Blank does not discriminate adequately. Therefore the Strong Blank is considered to have "less guidance value at the high school level than the occupational choices." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
