Strong Interest Inventory 11 Critical Analysis: The test has been gone through many revisions till now and is up to date. So, can be used today. It has very good reliability and validity. The test gives a good estimate of job satisfaction and job persistence but, not of job success. That means, it estimates interests but not ability. And hence, it cannot be used as the only measure to choose an occupation. Ability tests should also be equally used. The profile form provided to the test taker is comprehensive. It gives a wide insight into a person s interests. Also, the norms for men and women are given separately which helps in better prediction of the interests. https://www.careershodh.com/
