The purpose of this research was to empirically examine if there are any differences on the IE scale and the GOT themes of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) between Hispanic and Anglo groups. One hundred and seventy-six students who had been administered the SCII as part of career counseling at the New Mexico State University Counseling Center were included in the study. The samples included 44 Hispanic males, 44 Hispanic females, 44 Anglo males and 44 Anglo females. A single classification ANOVA was used to examine IE score differences while a 2 x 2 factorial analysis of variance was used for comparisons of GOT scores in relation to the four groups. Results indicated no significant differences on the IE scale between Hispanics and Anglos. The only GOT theme which revealed a significant difference between genders was the R (Realistic) theme.

While providers generally agreed that a relatively moderate need existed for training related to cultural issues, a more nuanced picture emerged in the purview of culturally-related barriers. Administrators viewed the lack of appropriate interpreters and language as a greater barrier than did the staff. Administrators also held higher perceptions of agencies' cultural competency. The overall high assessment of cultural sensitivity may result from the substantial number of Latino providers.
