Integrating Vocational Interest Inventory Results and Expressed Choices.

Laing, Joan; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v25 n3 p304-15 Dec 1984

Explored the relationship between the degree to which choices and interests agree and later persistence in an expressed choice, using longitudinal data for college students (N=7,706) and employed persons (N=1,372). Results indicated that persistence in an expressed choice increases systematically as congruence between choice and interests increases. (LLL)
