“…Their client group had higher scores on 12 of the male twin scales and higher scores on 1 of the female twin scales. Stanfel (1970) compared SVIB Form T 399 (men) and Form W results for 25 female undergraduates in psychological testing classes on 18 twin scales. Stanfel indicated that the females received a mean of 3.08 A-level scores (T score of 45 or higher, comparable to the SCII categories of similar and very similar) on the men's SVIB twin scales and a mean of .92 on the women's SVIB twin scales.…”

“…Relating Score Differences to Femininity and Masculinity Two authors (Lunneborg, 1975;Stanfel, 1970) have shown connections between the SVIB twin scale results and masculinity/ femininity. Two other authors (Campbell, 1971;Shinar, 1975) have ranked occupations according to their degrees of masculinity/ femininity.…”

“…In this section of the article, the first two authors' studies will be reviewed, and then the latter two authors' results will be related to the results of SCII twin scale studies shown in Table 2. Stanfel (1970) compared the occupational scale scores received by 25 undergraduate females on the T 399 (men's) and the Form W SVIB. He found that female test takers tended to receive higher scores on the twin scales from the male SVIB than from the female SVIB, as was noted earlier.…”

“…There is some assistance to counselors in the work of Johnson (1977), Lunneborg (1975), andStanfel (1970) in their characterization of SVIB/SCII occupational scales as fitting either a masculine or feminine stereotype. They demonstrated the tendency for "masculine" twin scale occupations to be ones on which higher scores are received on the female than on the male twin scale.…”

The current version of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) contains 37 occupational scales that are "twin" scales, with one scale based on female norms and another based on male norms. The general pattern of scores on these SCII twin scales is for test takers to receive higher scores on the othersex scale than they do on their same-sex scale. However, the various occupational scales differ from one another in their patterns of score differences. Four studies of these SCII twin occupational scales were reviewed, and correlations were developed to show the degree of similarity in the results of those four studies. Those results are summarized on a scale-by-scale basis. Various explanations for the phenomena have been advanced, relating the twin scale score differentials to the masculinity or femininity of the occupations. These explanations were tested with the SCII differential score data with only partial success. This summary of findings from the four SCII studies indicates that counselors will need to know average female and male test-taker scores on other-sex occupational scales to make accurate SCII test interpretations.

“…Several researchers characterized occupational scales as masculine or feminine and attempted to explain scale differences in relation to these stereotypes (Johnson, 1977;Lunneborg, 1975;Stanfel, 1970). Men and women, however, do not show consistent differences in this framework.…”
