Validity of Other-Gender-Normed Scales on the Kuder Occupational Interest Survey.

Zytowski, Donald G.; Laing, Joan

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v25 n3 p205-09 May 1978

Investigated the relationship between KOIS twin scales normed separately on males and females for occupations and college majors. Rankings on own- and other-gender-normed scales correlated highly. The scales were approximately equal in predictive validity. Rankings on other-gender-normed scales provided an accurate estimate of expected rankings on unavailable own-gender scales. (Author/BEF)
