Strong Interest Inventory®: 2004 Realistic Theme Scores

The latest version of the Strong was released in December 2004.  There were a number of changes to the test questions and the resulting reports.  One change was the ranking of the different professions for men and women in each theme code, according to the most and least likely to choose that theme.

Let's start with the men.  The occupations most like to choose Realistic as the top theme included Firefighter, Engineering Technician, Electrician, Automobile Mechanic, Engineer, Landscape/Grounds Manager, and Chiropractor.  The least likely included Buyer, Advertising Account Manager, College Instructor, Broadcast Journalist, and Retail Sales Representative.

For women, the list was quite similar.  Among the most likely to choose Realistic were Engineering Technician, Firefighter, Chiropractor, Electrician, Engineer, and Network Administrator.  Among the least likely were Buyer, Retail Sales Representative, Retail Sales Manager, Financial Analyst, and Production Worker.
