Extending Holland's Theory to the Later Years.

Warren, Gordon D.; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v18 n1 p104-14 Feb 1981

Adults aged 50 to 88 years completed Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI). Generally VPI scores and high point codes were consistent with occupational codes but less consistent with the hobby code. This retrospective view presents tentative support for the usefulness of the VPI for vocational classification of older adults. (Author/JAC)
