Document Summary
Introduction: the distinction between tests treated in this chapter and personality tests is quite common. The most important difference is in the purposes for use of the tests rather than in the nature of the tests themselves. Orientation to career interest testing: there are two dominant names in this field and two primary approaches to test development. Traditional approaches: vocational interest measures differ in two ways, (1) the first difference relates to the origin of scales or scores on the tests. One approach uses an empirical, criterion keying approach and strong was the real pioneer for criterion keying as a method for test development. The second approach to scale development aims to produce scales corresponding to broad areas of interest. Kuder"s original tests used this approach: (2) a second difference in approach relates to use of absolute versus relative types of scores. The difference arises from the response format used for items.
