Abstract
Six scales representing Holland's six personality types-Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional-were developed for the SVIB. These were used to score 202 occupational samples from the Strong archives, and the mean scores for each sample on each scale are reported here. The ranking of means conform well with Holland's theory. The highest mean scores were: Realistic: Machinists, tool and die makers, vocational agriculture teachers; Investigative: Physicists, chemists and psychologists; Artistic: Actors, artists, and interior decorators; Social: YMCA staff members, ministers, guidance counselors; Enterprising: Salesmen, department store managers, and buyers; Conventional: Bankers, business education teachers, and office workers. These scales are now available for research use.
