WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Tentative Diagnostic Interests Questionnaire, TDIQ Test

Orientational-Diagnostic Interests Questionnaire Test

tendencies

This measure is designed to provide a brief snapshot of an individual’s interest profile across a range of life and career domains. The Orientational-Diagnostic Interests Questionnaire is commonly used in career counseling and vocational guidance to help organize stated preferences into interpretable areas (John L. Holland). It consists of 96 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete.

Responses are used to describe relative levels of interest across multiple broad domains (e.g., scientific/technical, creative, social, athletic, and entrepreneurial activities). Results from the Orientational-Diagnostic Interests Questionnaire are typically interpreted as descriptive indicators of motivational preferences and are best integrated with clinical interview data and other relevant assessment information.
