Abstract
The rationale underlying a formal procedure to interpret interest inventory score profiles is discussed, and the procedure is described. I validated the proposed procedure by comparing its interpretation of the interests of 100 high school seniors and 50 young adults with the interpretations of 5 career counselors. The average agreement between the interpretation of the formal procedure and that of the counselors (about 90%) was almost as high as the agreement among the career counselors themselves (about 91%). The implications of this result are discussed.
