Abstract
Male form Strong Vocational Interest Blank protocols were obtained from 4 female samples: 40 law students, 44 mathematicians, 51 medical students, and 49 graduate students in psychology Each sample scored higher (p < .01) than the complement (other three samples pooled) on the appropriate occupational scale. Classificatory indices were defined for each sample, adding scores on four scales with positive differences and subtracting four with negative; no scale was used twice. Analyses of variance were significant (p < .01) for each index. The accuracy of each index in correctly assigning individuals to the designated occupation was also examined. Obtained vs chance hit rates were 78% vs 78% (law), 85% vs 76% (mathematics), 78% vs 72% (medicine), and 75% vs 73% (psychology).
