Validity of Career Maturity Inventory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chodzinski, Raymond T.; Randhawa, Bikkar S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983

Results also tended to indicate that the discriminant validity of the CMI may be minimal. (PN)

Chodzinski, Raymond T. – Canadian Counsellor, 1983
Investigated the Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) using 535 Canadian high school students. As expected, intelligence, grade, and sex were significant predictors of the CMI variables.
