Abstract
Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) profiles for 69 occupational groups were analyzed according to Holland's six occupational types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Three discriminant functions, labeled Independence, Extraversion, and Anxiety, enabled correct classification of 75% of the groups to Holland's types. Personality profiles for the six occupational types based on standard 16 PF scale descriptions were highly consistent with Holland's characterizations of the types. A two-dimensional graphic plot of the group centroids corresponded exactly to Holland's hypothesized ordering of occupational types.
