Abstract
The validity of J. L. Holland's vocational personality types and their relationship to value dimensions were examined in light of Holland's theory of vocational choice. Male seniors (N = 316) completing their college program of study and representing the six personality types (realistic, investigative, social, enterprising, conventional, and artistic) were administered the Vocational Preference Inventory (identification of personality type) and the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values (identification of value dimensions). The results generally supported Holland's postulated personality typologies and value dimensions. A few inconsistencies concerning engineering and education majors and implications concerning personality type profile are discussed.
