Armed Services Vocational Interest Profile (ASVIP): Feasibility and Design Alternatives

Abstract

Interest measures are one of the most commonly used by high school counselors. Currently, no measure of interest is offered by the military to high schools for use with Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) results. This study involved a brief literature review of interest assessment and investigated the acceptance of a new interest measure by high school counselors and what design features counselors would like to have included. The objectives of this study were to: (1) assess counselor preferences on the format and results reporting methods the interest instrument should exhibit, and (2) assess the acceptance and use of a new interest assessment instrument by high school counselors.
