WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Professional Interests Questionnaire Test

Vocational Interests Questionnaire Test

This measure is designed to support career exploration by identifying patterns of vocational preferences and perceived fit across broad activity or work domains. The Vocational Interests Questionnaire is typically used as a brief self-report screener to help clarify areas of interest that may inform counseling or educational planning.

It consists of 24 items and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Developed by John L. Holland, it is intended to provide a structured summary of expressed interests rather than a comprehensive evaluation of aptitude, readiness, or mental health.

Results from the Vocational Interests Questionnaire are best interpreted in context with developmental history, educational experiences, and current opportunities, and may be used to guide follow-up discussion, goal-setting, and referrals for more in-depth assessment when indicated.
