Abstract

The study examined relations among measured vocational interests and self-rated skills and abilities in a sample of 112 college students (58 women and 54 men). Participants were administered the Strong Interest Inventory (Hansen & Campbell, 1985) and a self-ratings questionnaire assessing 14 general abilities and 30 specific skills. Results of principal components, correlational, and regression analyses suggested that (a) interests, abilities, and skills are sufficiently distinct to be considered separate constructs worthy of independent assessment, yet (b) interests, abilities, and skills within the same Holland type (1985a) show predictable relations to one another.
