“…These dimensions serve as the theoretical basis for spherical models of interest in which a third dimensionprestige or sex type-has been proposed in addition to peoplethings and data-ideas (Deng, Armstrong, & Rounds, 2007; also see Tracey & Rounds, 1996). For example, in an examination of the relationship between vocational interests and personahty types, Goh and Leong (1993) interpreted the realistic type as a tendency to "move away from people," "asocial, not caring for people, lacking of feeling, and lacking interpersonal skills," posing them as the opposite of social-type individuals who "have the beneflts and demands of rich interpersonal lives" (p. 560).

We examined a longstanding assumption in vocational psychology that people-things and data-ideas are bipolar dimensions. Two minimal criteria for bipolarity were proposed and examined across 3 studies: (a) The correlation between opposite interest types should be negative; (b) after correcting for systematic responding, the correlation should be greater than -.40. In Study 1, a meta-analysis using 26 interest inventories with a sample size of 1,008,253 participants showed that meta-analytic correlations between opposite RIASEC (realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, conventional) types ranged from -.03 to .18 (corrected meta-analytic correlations ranged from -.23 to -.06). In Study 2, structural equation models (SEMs) were fit to the Interest Finder (IF; Wall, Wise, & Baker, 1996) and the Interest Profiler (IP; Rounds, Smith, Hubert, Lewis, & Rivkin, 1999) with sample sizes of 13,939 and 1,061, respectively. The correlations of opposite RIASEC types were positive, ranging from .17 to .53. No corrected correlation met the criterion of -.40 except for investigative-enterprising (r = -.67). Nevertheless, a direct estimate of the correlation between data-ideas end poles using targeted factor rotation did not reveal bipolarity. Furthermore, bipolar SEMs fit substantially worse than a multiple-factor representation of vocational interests. In Study 3, a two-way clustering solution on IF and IP respondents and items revealed a substantial number of individuals with interests in both people and things. We discuss key theoretical, methodological, and practical implications such as the structure of vocational interests, interpretation and scoring of interest measures for career counseling, and expert RIASEC ratings of occupations.

“…Although Goh and Leong (1993) and Barrick et al (2003) hypothesized that interestpersonality correlations might be lower for student samples than adult samples due to students having less differentiation in their personalities and interests than working adults, this age variable did not appear to have a significant impact on findings of the present study. In their results, Barrick et al reported that relations were "somewhat stronger" (mean increase of .07) for working samples than student samples, with particularly large increases for the Enterprising GOT with FFM traits and for Openness to Experience with RIASEC GOTs.…”

“…In their discussion of age as a possible moderator, Barrick et al cite a study by Goh and Leong (1993), which suggests that the strength of personalityinterest relations may differ for college students and working adults. Specifically, the expectation is that working adults would have more differentiated interests.…”

“…Respecto a las relaciones entre la Clave Profesional y al 16PF, tal como afirmaban Holland & Gottfredson (1992) no parece que estos dos tipos de pruebas sean intercambiables, aunque parece evidente la existencia de relaciones significativas entre los constructos de intereses y personalidad. Se confirman las relaciones entre las escalas RIASEC y la dimensión de Extroversión (Goh & Leong, 1993), en particular, relaciones positivas con los tipos Social y Emprendedor (Tokar & Swanson, 1995) pero otras relaciones no resultan tan claras como las relaciones negativas entre el tipo Emprendedor y el neuroticismo, el tipo investigador y la extroversión, entre el tipo Emprendedor y la extroversión -ésta última sólo confirmada en el caso de las mujeres-.…”

ResumenIntroducción. La Clave Profesional es un instrumento de diagnóstico para la Orientación Vocacional inspirado en "The Career Key" de Lawrence Jones, basado en el modelo RIASEC de Holland. En un contexto de reflexión sobre la identificación personal con una profesión, con las formas de vida que orientan los valores y los tipos de personalidad, se estudia la validez cultural y las propiedades psicométricas de la Clave Profesional en una muestra española.Método. La muestra española estuvo compuesta por 517 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Resultados. Los índices de discriminación y consistencia interna demuestran la elevada fiabilidad de la Clave Profesional. Paralelamente se verifica su adecuada validez (criterial y de constructo). Además, se demuestra la existencia de relaciones significativas entre los constructos de intereses, estilos vitales -valores-y personalidad. Discusión y conclusiones. Los resultados de fiabilidad y validez obtenidos demuestran que laClave Profesional posee una calidad científico-técnica adecuada para ser aplicada a la población española. Además, las relaciones halladas entre las escalas RIASEC, los factores de personalidad y los estilos vitales sugieren que es preciso seguir investigando particularmente algunos tipos como el emprendedor, el neurótico y el extrovertido.Palabras clave: Modelo RIASEC de Holland, la Clave Profesional, Orientación Vocacional, Intereses Profesionales, estudio de validación.
