What type of quantifiable data does the Strong Interest Inventory yield?

  1. Scores and scales on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

  2. Scores and scales on Holland's RIASEC

  3. Scores in mathematical competencies

  4. Scores in verbal reasoning

The correct answer is: Scores and scales on Holland's RIASEC

The Strong Interest Inventory is designed to assess an individual's interests and career preferences by comparing them with the interests of individuals already working in various occupations. The results are expressed through scores and scales that align with Holland's RIASEC model, which categorizes career interests into six areas: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. This model helps individuals understand how their interests fit into different work environments, facilitating career development planning. It is specifically structured to provide insight into vocational interests rather than measuring personality traits, cognitive abilities, or competencies in mathematics or verbal reasoning, which are not the focus of this particular inventory. Therefore, the output of the Strong Interest Inventory is primarily reflective of the Holland types, making option B the correct response.
