What Does It All Mean?
- Authors
Harmon, Lenore W.
- Abstract
The author was never particularly interested in history until, as an adult, he stood in a castle in Vienna, Austria, and heard a local tour guide describe how he had been present in that very room after World War II, when the treaty that returned Vienna to Austrian control was signed. The author was a graduate student at the University of Minnesota when the Center for Interest Measurement Research was established there. David Campbell and the author collected some of the first of those lower level occupational groups for the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) to which Charles McArthur objected. The author chaired the committee that "investigated" the SVIB in response to complaints received by the American Personnel and Guidance Association and the Association for Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance and the Association for Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development. Those who develop tests and inventories always want to improve their instruments. Ludcily, the publishers of the SVIB had a similar commitment.
