The Strong Vocational Interest Blank as a Predictor of Retention in the NOAA Officer Corps

Abstract

The retention rate of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officers is somewhat lower than desired for the efficiency of the organization. The present study is concerned with using the strong vocational interest blank (SVIB), in improving the selection of career motivated naval officers. The SVIB and a background questionnaire (BQ) were administered to samples of retired, resigned, and active duty NOAA officers. The BQ responses and their use are reported.
