Abstract
Holland (1959, Journal of Counseling Psychology, 6, 35–45) has stated that his vocational theory is based on an assessment of personality dimensions. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between vocational interest patterns as represented by Holland's model and personality dimensions as represented by Eysenck's model. The study tested specific hypotheses concerning the relationship between Holland's vocational personalities and personality dimensions as measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). The hypothesized relationships were based on our interpretations of Holland's model and Eysenck's theory of personality. The findings indicated there are some low but significant relationships between Eysenck's personality dimensions. Horney's theory of interpersonal relations provide one possible interpretation for some of the findings. A significant relationship between Eysenck's EPQ and Holland's construct of Differentiation was also found.
