“…Secondary assertions concerning differentiation and consistency have shown weak but consistent support as predictors of decidedness and career maturity across groups (Aranya, Barak, & Amernic, 1981;Holland, Gottfredson, & Nafziger, 1975;O'Neil & Magoon, 1977 Electronic Journal: To print this article select pages 56-58. TOC The Self-Directed Search (1985c) expects will become the technique of choice for measuring that construct.…”

“…Holland's primary theoretical assertion of the importance of congruence of person and environment has received fairly consistent support in the research (Bruch & Krieshok, 1981;Holland, 1985a;Meir & Hasson, 1982;Mount & Muchinsky, 1978). Secondary assertions concerning differentiation and consistency have shown weak but consistent support as predictors of decidedness and career maturity across groups (Aranya, Barak, & Amernic, 1981;Holland, Gottfredson, & Nafziger, 1975;O'Neil & Magoon, 1977). Counselors should be cautious in their interpretation of differentiation and consistency with individual profiles.…”

“…Perhaps counselors should simply be advised to pay more careful attention to client preferences. That is, in fact, a major implication of the substantial literature on expressed vocational interests, which indicates that expressed interests are as good as or better than inventoried interests in predicting actual career choice or college major (Bartling & Hood, 1981;Borgen & Seling, 1978;Cairo, 1982;Dolliver & Will, 1977;Holland & Gottfredson, 1975;Holland, Magoon, & Spokane, 1981;O'Neil & Magoon, 1977;Slaney, 1984;Slaney & MacKinnonSlaney, 1986;Touchton & Magoon, 1977; Zytowski & Borgen, 1983). And this suggestion does seem useful for large numbers of career clients.…”

This study examines the stability of self-descriptive Holland types over a 2-month period. Participants were 88 men and 207 women college-student volunteers who rank-ordered descriptions of the six Holland types based on the degree to which they were selfdescriptive. They then responded to the Occupational Alternatives Question and the Career Decision Scale. Two months later they responded to the same materials again. Participants were divided into three groups based on the Iachan index ratings of the agreement between their self-descriptive Holland types over 2 months. There were no statistically significant differences between these groups on career decidedness and career indecision. Women whose selfdescriptive Holland types changed the most had more difficulty relating their Holland types to occupations than did women whose self-descriptive Holland types changed the least. The results are discussed with their implications for career counseling and future research.

“…. Other research, however, has supported such a construct (Foster & Gade, 1973;Nafziger, Holland, Helms, & McPartland, 1974;O'Neil & Magoon, 1977;O'Neil, Magoon, & Tracy, 1978). In addition, Holland has shown that the consistency of a student's personality pattern, as measured by the Vocational Preference Invent09 (VPI) profile, is positively related to the stability of a student's vocational choice or choice of a major field over I-to-4-year intervals (Holland, 1963(Holland, , 1968).…”
