The predictive validity of the old and new men's Pharmacist scales and the new women's Pharmacist scale on the Strong Vocational Interest Blank was investigated for 279 male and 76 female pharmacy students. Each of the three scales significantly differentiated between graduates and nongraduates from the pharmacy program. Separate sex norms appeared to be necessary for the two men's scales, but not for the new women's scale. The women's scale most accurately identified the pharmacy majors and produced the highest correlations with the criterion for both sexes.
