Abstract
This study investigated the personality and cognitive correlates of the career choices of over 300 female college freshman at the University of Oklahoma. Of this number, 23 opted for nursing while the remainder selected college majors assumed (on an a priori basis) to be related to nursing either on the social or intellectual orientations explicated in Holland's model of career choice. Groups were compared on personality/attitudinal and cognitive variables; differences were found which were construed as supportive of Holland's (1965) model. Implications of the findings for nursing educators are discussed.
