Herb hopes his 4-year-old daughter will become a scientist like him, but she refuses to play with the toy microscope he bought her and insists that she will be a princess when she grows up

Not many. His daughter's rigid gender-typed behavior is typical when children are acquiring gender schemas, but it does not necessarily predict much of anything about her adult interests or occupation.
