This research report describes changes made to the Inventory of Work-Relevant Values when it was revised for online use as a part of the Internet version of DISCOVER. Users will see the following differences between the online and CD-ROM versions of the inventory: 22 items rather than 61, simplified presentation, and the contribution of all items to the linkage with the World-of-Work Map. Changes to the Inventory of Work-Relevant Values were based on user feedback, field testing, and data analysis. Some value items were retained from the CD-ROM version of the inventory, and several new items were developed for the online version. Items retained in the final inventory passed a variety of statistical tests, including test-retest reliability and discriminant analyses, or were retained for other substantive reasons. Occupations were rated on all new values, and inter-rater reliability calculated. The report includes relevant literature that informs this revision and the finalized version of the Inventory of Work-Relevant Values for use in the Internet DISCOVER. (Contains 6 tables and 9 figures.)
