Mapping "StrengthsQuest" Themes to Holland's Vocational Personality Types
Carson, Andrew D.; Evans, Karen; Gitin, Elena; Eads, Jonathan
Journal of Career Assessment, v19 n2 p197-211 May 2011
A sample of 1,747 students attending undergraduate classes in legal education at an online university completed the "StrengthsQuest" assessment as part of a larger investigation; of this number, 117 students also completed the "Kuder Career Search". Exploratory factor analysis (principal components followed varimax rotation) of 34 "StrengthsQuest" theme rankings found 11 factors. The results replicate and extend an earlier report of correlations between "StrengthsQuest" theme subscales and indicators of Holland's six vocational personality types. Implications are discussed for the use of the "StrengthsQuest" in career assessment. (Contains 10 tables.)
