Using Expressions of Vocational Aspirations in Military Vocational Guidance. I. Preliminary Investigation and Research Planning.

Abstract

Under a 3-year interlaboratory agreement, NAVPERSRANDCEN pursued several research and development efforts in support of the Army's advanced computerized accessioning system, the Joint Optical Information Network (JOIN). This report details the preliminary investigation into the feasibility of using expressions of vocational aspirations in a vocational guidance system designed for military recruiting. The literature indicates that the predictive validity of vocational aspirations usually equals or exceeds the validity of an interest inventory. Strategies for further research are outlined. Keywords: Armed Services recruiting, military vocational guidance; vocational aspirations.
