Abstract

Clients with flat profiles on the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) represent a difficult counseling problem. For such clients, a method is proposed to rescore parts of the SVIB in the framework of Holland's theory of vocational choice. The occupations and fields of study on the SVIB were classified into one of Holland's six personality-environmental types. For each type the number of occupations and fields checked “dislike” by each of 69 subjects were subtracted from the number checked “like” and multiplied by a weight to yield a score for each subject on each type. The rescoring provided a clearer picture of most subjects' occupational interests and speculative descriptions of clients having flat SVIB profiles.
