THE STABILITY OF SCORES ON THE NAVY VOCATIONAL INTEREST INVENTORY.
Abstract
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the long-term stability of occupational and area scores on the Navy vocational interest inventory (NVII). In earlier research, empirically derived NVII occupational keys and the more general area scales were found to differentiate effectively between men assigned to various Class 'A' schools, and to contribute somewhat toward the prediction of external criteria such as reenlistment and school performance. Since use of interest scores requires test-retest reliabilities that are high enough to permit planning long-range career goals, and since little evidence exists regarding NVII scale reliability, the present research was conducted to measure the degree of stability exhibited by NVII scores.
