Interpreting Your Score:
Low Scorers (0 – 8).
About one respondent in six earns a score between 0 and 8. Such respondents answered in a
socially undesirable direction much of the time. It may be that they are more willing than
most people to respond to tests truthfully, even when their answers might meet with social
disapproval.
Average Scorers (9 – 19).
About two respondents in three earn a score from 9 through 19. They tend to show an
average degree of concern for the social desirability of their responses, and it may be that
their general behavior represents an average degree of conformity to social rules and
conventions.
High Scorers (20 – 33).
About one respondent in six earns a score between 20 and 33. These respondents may be
highly concerned about social approval and respond to test items in such a way as to avoid
the disapproval of people who may read their responses. Their general behavior may show
high conformity to social rules and conventions.
Test for Vocational Fit
The following Holland Code (RIASEC) Test based on the theory of the Holland Occupational
Themes will help you identify your career and vocational interests.
The Holland Occupational Themes is a theory of personality that focuses on career and
vocational choice. It groups people on the basis of their suitability for six different categories of
occupations. The six types yield the RIASEC acronym, by which the theory is also commonly
known. The theory was developed by John L. Holland over the course of his career, starting in
the 1950s. The typology has come to dominate the field of career counseling and has been
incorporated into most of the popular assessments used in the field. The RIASEC Markers Scales
from the Interest Item Pool were developed by Liao, Armstrong and Rounds (2008) for use in
psychological research as a public domain alternative to the usual assessments which are
marketed commercially.
The United States Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration maintains a
database of occupations sorted by Holland Code. Your interests will be matched to this database
to identify occupations matching your interests.

Dare You Say What You Think? The Social-Desirability Scale
Do you say what you think, or do you tend to misrepresent your
beliefs to earn the approval of others? Do you answer questions
honestly, or do you say what you think other people want to
hear?
Telling others what we think they want to hear is making
the socially desirable response. Falling prey to social desirability
may cause us to distort our beliefs and experiences in interviews
or on psychological tests.
The bias toward responding in socially desirable directions is also a source of error in the case
study, survey, and testing methods. You can complete the Social-Desirability Scale devised by
Crowne and Marlowe to gain insight into whether you have a tendency to produce socially
desirable responses.
Directions:
Read each item and decide whether it is true (T) or
false (F) for you. Try to work rapidly and answer each question
by circling the T or the F.
