Based upon the proposal of Yonge and Regan (1975) that the six Holland vocational groups show different patterns of abilities, the vocational interest correlates of differential combinations of abilities were investigated. From the Scholastic Aptitude Test scores of a sample of 412 college freshmen, three ability groups were created: (1) verbal greater than mathematical, (2) verbal equal to mathematical, and (3) mathematical greater than verbal. Based on responses to the Vocational Preference Inventory and 16 PF, significant differences in group means were found on scales related to artistic interests. For both sexes the highest scores on these scales were made by the high verbal-low mathematical group
