Abstract
To investigate the Strong Vocational Interest Blank profiles of a group of drug abusers participating in a voluntary VA Drug Abuse Program profiles were obtained for 65 male veterans ranging in age from 18 to 44 yr. Mean scores are reported for the Basic Interest Scales, the Occupational Scales, and the Non-occupational Scales. The responses by the patients did not yield significant numbers of high or low scores. Among the Occupational Scales there was not a single mean standard score in the “A” range. The profiles were basically bland but suggested a people orientation with manipulative aspirations. An interpretation of the high and low scores is discussed. It appeared that the profiles were relatively stable and were not likely to change substantially over time.
