A Pig in a Suit Is Still A Pig: A Comment on "Modifying the C Index for Use With Holland Codes of Unequal Length"
Tinsley, Howard E. A.
Journal of Career Assessment, v14 n2 p283-288 2006
In this comment the author reviews briefly the evidence documenting the failure of Holland's (1997) hexagonal congruence model to predict meaningful vocational outcomes, considers the excuses generally offered for the failure of Holland's system, and comments briefly on Eggerth and Andrew's (2006 [this issue]) proposed modification of the C index. The author concludes by proposing a redirection of the research agenda of vocational psychology to advance vocational psychology theory, research, and interventions.
