Abstract
Vocational interest inventories such as the SVIB are inherently appealing to women who seek career counseling. How useful they are to the counselor is another question. The author reviews studies employing the SVIB‐W conducted during the past decade in order to answer such questions as: How reliable is the SVIB‐W? How well does it differentiate interests? Can it effectively distinguish career commitments? Is it a good predictor? The author's conclusion is that information gained from this inventory is of minimal‐use in counseling women about careers.
