Abstract
This study examined the criterion-related validity of the ACT-UNIACT interest inventory which yields both Holland type High Point Codes and World of Work Map (WWM) placements. The scores of 894 college seniors were used in analyses which measured the hit rate (i.e., the match between their UNIACT assignment and their college major). The hit rate for Holland types was found to be significantly higher than the typical average of six category interest inventories. Comparable levels of criterion-related validity were found for the Holland types and the WWM only when the regions adjacent to the appropriate hit region were included for the WWM. To assure adequate validity, users must consider WWM regions adjacent to their assigned region.
