The main concern of this study was to investigate differences among women and men employed in traditional female occupations who took the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI). The VPI was administered to 151 adult workers in three Social occupations (staff nurses, elementary school teachers, and librarians). In general, the findings for the VPI Social scale for the occupational groups suggest that women when compared to men in the same occupations tend to report similar mean raw scores. In addition, these findings tend to hold for the Investigative, Conventional, Enterprising, and Artistic scales of the VPI.
