It is essential to know how many dimensions of interests exist and how they are organized. The Holland model includes only 6 general dimensions (realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional) in hexagonal form. Prediger suggests that underlying Holland's model, there are two theoretical dimensions (people-things, data-i...

Los modelos de la estructura de los intereses basados en análisis factoriales no han resultado satisfactorios. Varios modelos postulan las dimensiones de personas, cosas, datos e ideas, basados en la teoría de Roe, pero dicha teoría no ha recibido suficiente apoyo empírico.

Presents an analogy between the learning theorist and the test-theorist, suggesting that present models for test prediction do not provide for generalizability of test results fron 1 situation to another or for explaining failures of tests to predict. It is proposed that future models include motivational variables. As a 1st step, it is proposed th...
