However, in view of the increasingly merging and overlapping activities of men and women, in education, in vocation and in all walks of life, the continuing separat assessment of men’s and women’s success and satisfaction in a shared world is questionable. Furtuermore, it has already been found that the interests of men and women are quite similar (correlating about .69) ; that •authors, artists, and music teachers among men score the same on the MF scale as physicians and dentists among women; and that some men have the capacity to score almost as the most feminine of women. (Strong, 1955) Unfortunately, the SVIB Male form is widely used for women as well as for men. Counselors have also often used the SVIB Male form for women, because it contains more keys. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the application of SVIB-M to adult women does yield meaningful and comparable data, in the similarities and differences of the occupational scale scores, in the profile patterns, and in the occupational groupings obtained by cluster analysis.
