Dr. Douglas N.

Jackson
(1929-2004)

He was born in Merrick, New York. Graduated in Cornell


University with a BSc in Industrial and Labor Relations and got his
PhD in Clinical Psychology at Purdue University.
He worked as an Intern in Menninger Foundation in Topeka
but later realized that his interests are best suited in Psychological
Assessment.
He published approximately 250 peer-reviewed journal
articles, book chapters and several coedited books. Of all his works,
there are only few he was particularly proud. One of which is the
JVIS or the Jackson Vocational Interest Survey.
Construction of JVIS.

JVIS provides work-style preference, work-role


preference, and general-interest pattern information to high
school and college-age young adults and to adults in career
planning (Hackett & Watkins, 1995).
Incorporating many of the attractive features of the “Big
Three” inventories, the JVIS is a forced-choice format,
provides an occupational taxonomy, and is computer-scored,
providing interest profiles and narratives linked to
occupational classifications (Borgen, 1986).
Psychometric Properties
 The Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (JVIS) is the product
of years of careful research.
 It is one of the most carefully and elaborately constructed
psychological instruments ever published. The most modern
methods of test and scale construction, and the latest theoretical
developments relating to the psychology of work have been
incorporated with the aim of providing a comprehensive, accurate,
and sex-fair assessment of vocational interests.
NORMS:
◦ Most recent normative sample in 1999
◦ 3500 individuals - 1750 males and 1750 females from Canada
and U.S.
◦ 2380 secondary school students (1190 males and 1190 females)
and 1120 adults (university and college) (560 males and 560
females).
Scale Construction
 Definition of the JVIS scales was based on a re-
conceptualization of occupational preferences in terms
of work roles and work styles. 
◦ Work roles refer to relatively homogeneous sets of
activities relevant to occupations.
◦ Work styles refer to a preference for certain kinds of work
environments.
 It places equal emphasis upon the measurement of interests of
women and men.
 Each scale was designed to measure the interest designated
by the scale name and to be relatively unrelated to other
scales.
Reliability of JVIS Basic Interest Scales
 The JVIS manual presents test-retest coefficients for two distinct
samples. The first sample is a group of 172 university students who
completed the JVIS one week apart. The test-retest reliability's
range from .91 for Social Service to .72 for Independence, with a
median of .84
 A group of 95 first year university students, 43 men and 52 women,
completed the JVIS on two occasions separated by four to six
weeks. Test-retest reliability's range from .92 for Social Service to .
69 for Independence and Academic Achievement, with a median of
.82.
 Internal consistency coefficient are based on a sample of
1573 high school students, 799 males and 774 females, who
were administered the JVIS during school hours. These
values range from .70 to .91, with a median of .81.
 3500 normative sample - Coefficient alpha values range from .88
for Mathematics and Medical Services to .54 for Professional
Advising with a median of .72.

Reliability of JVIS General Occupational


Theme Scales

 Internalconsistency reliability's for the 10 General


Occupational Themes based on the normative sample have a
median value of .875. The test-retest reliability's from two
respondent samples have respective median values of .885
and .895.
