The classification of occupations by means of Kuder Interest profiles: I. The development of interest groups.

Abstract: In this study, cluster analysis, using rho as an index of profile similarity, was used to classify 45 KPR occupational profiles for men and a group of 42 profiles for women. For men, 7 interest groups were produced; 5 interest groups were found for women. Tables are presented showing the occupational classifications. Comparability to the Kuder and Strong groups is considered.

“…With regard to the scientist-humanist differentiation in general (that is, as may be found in any area of study), research demonstrates that this differentiation represents two differing vocational interest patterns. Individuals interested in service work (toward individuals or society-the humanists) demonstrate significantly different (and in some instances, mutually exclusive) vocational interests than do those more interested in technical, scientific pursuits (Greaser, 1976;Farnsworth, 1969;Goodman, 1942;Holland, 1973;Holland, Krause, Nixon & Trembath, 1953;Kuder, 1951;MacPhail & Thompson, 1952;Nafziger & HelmSj 1974;Roe, 1953;Rounds & Dawis, 1979;Segal, 1961;Terman, 1954;Tyler, 1964). Those interested in the humanistic approach to life share vocational interests with, for example, ministers, teachers, artists, writers, and musicians, whereas those interested in science tend to share vocational interests with those interested in the formal study of things, such as laboratory technicians, laboratory scientists, and those interested in math and/or accounting.…”

“…A useful index of modal patterning can be obtained from the Strong literature. A sample of modal Kuder patterns has been classified by Holland, et al (1953) and appears to be more amenable to research than are the Strong patterns. The latter study in which Bamette's data (1951) were re-examined by the use of modal Kuder patterns suggests that veterans with modal patterns for a particular occupational class are more apt to be judged "sue-cessful" than are veterans with more atypical patterns.…”
