Six in-general samples have been generated to fit different developments of the SVIB, Twenty experimental homogeneous scales were used to measure the similarities and differences among the six in-general samples. Generally, all samples were strikingly similar with the greatest differences appearing between male and female in-general samples.…

Freshman males from private and public school backgrounds took the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) during freshman orientation. Subjects were retested one week later using the SVIB, and examined for posttest congruence. Results suggest that private boarding school subjects were less congruent than private day or public school graduates.…

This article compared the concurrent predictive accuracy of the (SVIB) for the same subjects on three sets of scales, the SVIB-Holland scales, the Basic Interest scales, and the Occupational scales. (Author)

The Tyler Vocational Card Sort (TVCS) and the Strong Vocational Interest Blank for men (SVIB-M) were completed by 67 university students in 1965. The 1975 occupations held by 47 subjects were identified. The TVCS was more accurate than the SVIB, by a very small amount, in predicting occupation held 10 years after original testing; both methods…

The study compared the arrays of high-interest occupations produced by the Strong and the Kuder. A frequency percentage count showed 85 percent of the pairs of summary codes had two identical characteristics, and some support was found for Holland's hexagon. The implications for further studies comparing the two instruments are discussed. (Author)

Concurrent validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) and predictive validity of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) were studied in an 18-year follow-up of a university counseling center group of male college graduate subjects. The SCII had concurrent validity greater than the SVIB. (Author)

The sample groups consisted of 570 women and 1,031 men who were National Merit Scholars in 1966. Differentiations of career groups from the SVIB-M were compared for men and women. Results suggest that a single form of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank is potentially feasible for predicting college major and career choices of women as well as…

This is an investigation of a college freshman sample of the relationship between the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, Form T399, and the Rotter Internal-External Control of Reinforcement Scale (I-E scale) which measures locus of control of reinforcement. (Author)
