“…Our research was conducted in Japan, and while the theoretical framework, particularly the RIASEC model's validity in representing specific occupations, is expected to be generalizable to Japan, the United States, and other countries, it may not apply universally. Studies with large samples have indicated that RIASEC's validity in Japan is nearly as high as in the U.S., Iceland, and Israel (Long et al, 2006;, despite a smaller study suggesting slightly reduced validity (Tracey et al, 1997). However, because RIASEC-based preferences were not directly measured in the participants in this study, we cannot empirically determine whether the assumptions based on RIASEC were applicable throughout the current survey procedures.…”

Understanding occupational preferences through Big Five personality traits offers a crucial insight into the socio-psychological profiles of working individuals, extending beyond mere occupational behaviors. Previous research, however, has not conclusively shown that the broad, situation-general Big Five traits can systematically account for occupational preferences as outlined by the existing RIASEC model. The RIASEC framework’s reliance on theory-driven, preselected occupational scenarios may hinder this explanation. In this study, we initially employed data-driven, exploratory methods to identify and validate occupational preference factors from thousands of participants’ responses to a wide array of occupational titles. Subsequently, we explored the connections between the Big Five traits and these newly identified preference factors. Our analysis revealed a coherent and systematic relationship between data-driven occupational preferences and the Big Five traits, formulating the Hexagonal Openness–Extraversion–Agreeableness model of occupational personality traits. This model facilitates a broader understanding of individuals’ work-related personalities from a comprehensive social-psychological viewpoint.

“…However, several studies suggested that Holland's hexagonal model does not replicate well across cultures (e.g., du Toit & De Bruin, 2002; suggesting that indigenous interest structures should be considered (Einarsdottir, Eyjolfsdottir, & Rounds, 2013). A more recently developed spherical model of interests and its measurement instrument called the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI; Tracey, 2002) seem to replicate quite well across cultures and were validated in various socio-cultural contexts, such as in Japan, Serbia, or Bulgaria (Hedrih, Stošić, Simić, & Ilieva, 2016;Long, Watanabe, & Tracey, 2006). A study having investigated the measurement equivalence of the PGI across Switzerland and Burkina Faso has shown that the PGI did reach configural and metric equivalence but not scalar equivalence, suggesting that culture specific norms should be considered (Atitsogbe et al, submitted).…”

Testing and Assessment in an International Context: Cross- and Multi-cultural Issues

Globalisation, increase of migration flows, and the concurrent worldwide competitiveness impose rethinking of testing and assessment procedures and practices in an international and multicultural context. This chapter reviews the methodological and practical implications for psychological assessment in the field of career guidance. The methodological implications are numerous and several aspects have to be considered, such as cross-cultural equivalence or construct, method, and item bias. Moreover, the construct of culture by itself is difficult to define and difficult to measure. In order to provide non-discriminatory assessment, counsellors should develop their clinical cross-cultural competencies, develop more specific intervention strategies, and respect cultural differences. Several suggestions are given concerning translation and adaptation of psychological instruments, developing culture specific measures, and the use of these instruments. More research in this field should use mixed methods, multi-centric designs, and consider emic and etic psychological variables. A multidisciplinary approach might also allow identifying culture specific and ecological meaningful constructs. Non-discriminatory assessment implies considering the influence and interaction of personal characteristics and environmental factors.Testing and assessment in an international context 3 Testing and Assessment in an International Context: Cross-and Multi-Cultural Issues Globalisation, increase of migration flows, and the concurrent worldwide competitiveness impose a shift on intercultural research, towards an integrative background to both common and regional competencies to achieve added value and usefulness of testing and assessment techniques. Whenever a test is translated and adapted for use in another language or culture, it is mandatory to know that the process begins always with evaluation: the first issue concerns the conceptual definition and the context of its operationalisation, which means the identification of the relevant contents of cultural knowledge. In this case, the ingredients of knowledge mean the understanding of how culture is expressed through beliefs and values, behavioural expressions, symbols and habits, but also mean a balance between cognitive knowledge and attributes of good judgement to deal with the culture or sub-culture variables. The close connection between these two aspects can lead to a deep awareness of construct validation research within each population for which translation or adaptation occurs.As Hambleton (2005) pointed out, a distinction has to be made between test adaptation and test translation. In his view, the term "adaptation" is broader and more reflective of what should happen in practice when preparing a test that is constructed in one language and culture for use in a second language and culture. Test adaptation includes all the steps involved in developing a measure to assess a specific construct in a different language and culture, taking into account the specificities of that l...
