Tension, Adventure, and Risk (Tar) and the Classification of Occupations
Tension, aventure et risque (TAR) et la classification des métiers - Une analyse multidimensionnelle: La grande étendue des métiers peut être catégorisée de plusieurs manières. Cette étude utilise la classification de Roe (1956) basée sur les différences psychologiques qui distingue huit grands types de métiers: Affaires, Organisation, Culture générale, Service, Arts et spectacle, Plein aire, Science, et technologie. Ces grands types ont été retr…
The Benefits of Personality-Leisure Congruence
This study explores the beneficial effects of leisure congruence on well-being. Leisure congruence was defined as the degree of correspondence between an individual's personality type [using Holland's typology (1985a)] and the type of leisure activities he/she selects. The study was conducted among 160 professionals (engineers, technicians, physicians and lawyers). Leisure congruence correlated positively with work satisfaction and self-esteem an…
The accumulation of person‐environment congruences and well‐being
The impact of the additivity of three aspects of person‐environment congruence — vocational, avocational and skill utilization — to well‐being was assessed by four measures: occupational satisfaction, work satisfaction, somatic complaints and anxiety. Subjects were 74 female teachers. Findings showed: (a) the three congruence aspects were not interrelated; (b) all congruence aspects were correlated with all well‐being measures in the expected dir…

Measurement of Risk Takers' Personality
An inventory was constructed to assess risk takers' personality characteristics, enhance the understanding of risk takers' personality in general, and provide a tool for the selection of candidates for high-risk jobs. On the basis of extant knowledge on risk takers' personality attributes, items were selected for the construction of a questionnaire which assessed respondents' attitudes towards situations and actions characterized by tension, risk…
Guidelines for Item Selection in Inventories Yielding Score Profiles
In many personality and interest inventories a score profile, rather than a single score, is attributed to each subject. Six applicable criteria are suggested for use in examining the adequacy of items in such inventories. Two of these criteria relate to the response distribution on each item, two to the internal consistency of the items and two to the discriminative value of the items
An empirical examination of the stereotype accountant based on Holland's theory
This study proposes a theoretical framework for the characterization of the stereotype accountant based on J. L. Holland's theory (1973). Contrary to other works on the subject, the purpose of this paper is to trace the stereotype accountant in the framework of an inclusive theory of professional stereotypes. Empirical evidence is presented which contrasts accountancy students with psychology students in both vocational interests and inclinations…
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Structure of Vocational Interests
Cole and Hanson (1971) and Edwards and Whitney (1972) analyzed responses of American Ss to several interest inventories. They found the occupational fields to have the following circular configuration in terms of Holland's (1966) classification of occupations: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprise, and Conventional. Two interest inventories were constructed on the basis of Roe's (1956) classification of occupations and were admin…
