Investigative versus Realistic Holland Types and Adjustment in Theoretical Engineering Majors.

Bruch, Monroe A.; Krieshok, Thomas S.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v18 n2 p162-73 Apr 1981

Tested the sensitivity of J.L. Holland's congruence method for predicting differential outcomes in the case of subtle person-environment congruence differences.
