Measures of Holland’s Types • Strong Vocational Interest Blank- Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SVIB-SCII) • Originally developed in 1927 • Original was criterion-keyed • Later (1974) tied to Holland’s theory and renormed • Computer scored • Output includes similarity to many occupations • Self-Directed Search (SDS)

  11. Self-Directed Search (SDS) • Created by Holland • Self-administered, self-scored, self-interpreted • Is a measure of interest, not ability or aptitude • Scores linked to over 1300 occupations • Scores also linked to recreational interests • Validity data related to model; little on prediction of job satisfaction, success

  12. SDS Interpretation • Generate a summary code • Compare code, and permutations, to current job or vocational possibilities (congruence) • Consistency: are code letters (types) close to each other on the hexagon • Differentiation: To what extent is a person very much one type versus even across the board
