Abstract
The Jackson Career Explorer (JCE) is a short form and continuous version of the Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (JVIS). The 34 scales of the JCE were investigated in relation to the Career Directions Inventory (CDI). Participants (N = 282) aged 14–57 years were volunteers from local high schools and colleges and completed both measures. The reliability values for the JCE scales were moderate to high. In terms of convergent validity, corresponding scales from both measures were found to correlate highly, supporting the use of the JCE and adding information about the CDI.
Hazel’s comment:
JCE appears to be a) fairly new and b) used in the USA and Canada. I think it’s a case of “watch this space”.
CDI has been around for quite a while (20+ years) but again this is used mainly in the USA and Canada.
