How do the Oregon Vocational Interest Scales (ORVIS) overlap with measures of the Big Five personality dimensions and other measures of career paths? Why would this overlap be expected?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Many of the ORVIS categories are correlated with the Big Five and other vocational measures.
- For example, leadership correlates with the Big Five trait of extraversion and with the Holland scale dimension of being enterprising.
- Organization correlates with conscientiousness and Holland's conventional scale.
- Altruism is related to agreeableness and the social dimension of the Holland measure.
- Both creativity and analysis are correlated with openness to experience. Creativity is also correlated with the artistic dimension of the Holland scales, whereas analysis is correlated with the investigative dimension.
- Neither production nor adventure correlate with the Big Five, but both correlate with the realistic subscale of Holland.
- Erudition is related to openness to experience but has no counterpart on the Holland scales.
- This overlap is to be expected, given that the goal of all these measures-ORVIS, Big Five, and Holland-is to identify a core set of traits that are related to the constructs in question. As such, there are only so many vocation-related traits to go around, leading to overlap in their conceptualization.
