\nThe O*NET Interest Profiler (IP) is a vocational interest inventory designed for use in educational planning, career exploration, and career guidance (Lewis & Rivkin, 1999) . The Interest Profiler was introduced in 1999 as one of the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) O*NET Career Exploration Tools. John Holland’s (1997) RIASEC theoretical model (Realistic-Investigative-Artistic-Social-Enterprising-Conventional) is the basis of the Interest Profiler scales. Over the years, millions of people have taken the Interest Profiler. Its current web-based version included in the My Next Move and Mi Proximo Paso websites, versions incorporated by private and public application developers, and available paper-and-pencil version continue to make it a widely disseminated and extensively used career exploration tool. Use and integration of the Interest Profiler is offered free-of-charge via the O*NET Career Exploration Tools Content License ([https://www.onetcenter.org/license_tools.html](https://www.onetcenter.org/license_tools.html)).  \nSince its introduction, the Interest Profiler has undergone several revisions, producing three forms of the Interest Profiler: IP Long-Form, IP Short-Form, and Mini-IP. During these revisions and selection of items and formats, O*NET has published a series of reports that documented the construction and validation of the Interest Profiler. This documentation published on the O*NET website ([https://www.onetcenter.org/research.html?c=IP_CIP](https://www.onetcenter.org/research.html?c=IP_CIP)) has met the spirit of Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014), providing information on scoring, reliability and validity of scores, and participants reactions to the experience of completing and receiving score interpretations.  \nThe present Interest Profiler Technical Manual integrates prior scale developmental reports and summarizes over 20 years of research on the Interest Profiler. The manual is written as chapters, authored by students and graduates of Industrial and Organizational PhD programs at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign and the University of Houston. Topics covered include an overview of the Interest Profiler (chapter 1), forms and versions (chapter 2), scoring and reporting (chapter 3), item deve","cbCaihvASgj6OQEu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihvASgj6OQEu","pdf",2622740,139,"English","# Executive Summary\n# List of Contributors\n# Chapter 1: Interest Assessment and the O*NET Interest Profiler\n# Chapter 2: Interest Profiler Forms, Versions, and Linkage to Occupations\n# Chapter 3: Test Administration, Scoring, and Reporting for the Interest Profiler\n# Chapter 4: Development of Items and Interest Profiler Forms\n# Chapter 5: Reliability Evidence for the Interest Profiler\n# Chapter 6: Validity Evidence for the Interest Profiler\n# Chapter 7: Interest Profiler Linkage to O*NET Occupations\n# Chapter 8: International Forms and Applications of the Interest Profiler","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the O*NET Interest Profiler (IP)?\",\"answer\":\"It is a vocational interest inventory designed for educational planning, career exploration, and career guidance.\"},{\"question\":\"Which theory forms the basis of the Interest Profiler scales?\",\"answer\":\"It is based on John Holland’s RIASEC theoretical model (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional).\"},{\"question\":\"What topics does the technical manual cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers the profiler’s overview, forms and versions, test administration and scoring, item development, reliability and validity evidence, linkage to O*NET occupations, and international applications.\"}]","O*NET Interest Profiler Manual - Executive Summary - Interest Assessment and the O*NET Interest Profiler | PDF",350]
