Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) for Men

Paper Summary:

This paper provides a basic overview of the 1966-1969 revision of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) for Men. Information about the instrument is taken primarily from Buros' (1972) Seventh Mental Measurement Yearbook. However, there are a few citations to other sources as well, to ensure that the examination and description of the instrument is sufficiently in-depth. After presenting a basic description of the test, the paper examines the population it was designed for and the norming population. This is followed by a look at the test's reliability and validity. The paper ends with a personal evaluation of the test.

From the Paper:

"In the test reviews provided in The Seventh Mental Measurements Yearbook, it was mostly agreed that the reliability of the test appeared solid with odd-even and short-term test-retest figures reported to vary from the low .80s to the low .90s. Even very long term tests (20 years) ranged in the .60s indicating that the test's ability to identify individuals' interests remained stable over a long period of time. There was somewhat less agreement about the instrument's validity although it was noted that the test was fairly good at predicting job satisfaction."
