AREA SCALES OF THE NAVY VOCATIONAL INTEREST INVENTORY AS PREDICTORS OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND RATING ASSIGNMENT

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the area (homogeneous) scales of the Navy vocational interest inventory (NVII) as predictors of school achievement and as measures of rating differentiation. The research compares the effectiveness of the specific occupational scales with more general interest measures--the NVII area scales--in predicting these criteria. The NVII was administered experimentally to samples of incoming students at schools varying widely in curriculum and to a sample of students in the Submarine School. Multiple correlations were computed, thus allowing validity comparisons.
