The study confirms that the MAPP assessment provides career predictions comparable to the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory. The significant correlations reinforce MAPP’s reliability in identifying occupational matches, making it a strong tool for career exploration.
A study by Gilbert (1997) compared the MAPP assessment with the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory. While the initial results were promising, the small sample size (n=30) limited the strength of the findings. To further validate MAPP’s performance, a second study with a significantly larger sample was conducted. The results confirmed that occupational preferences predicted by MAPP closely aligned with those from the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory.
133 individuals, primarily in technology-related positions.
Participants completed both the MAPP assessment and the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory.
Occupational-match correlations were examined based on prior findings from the Gilbert (1997) study.
