Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how Strong Interest Inventory (SII) is related to MBTI, and if the relationships differ based on gender difference to provide more appropriate career guidance. Data were collected from 518 college students (male: 207, female: 311) across two universities in Seoul. The results of correlation and regression analyses showed that six interest types were related to MBTI dimensions. Also there were similarities and differences in the relationships between male and female students. These results imply that the separate analyses of male and female samples be desirable. These results were compared with previous research and the way to provide clients with information on career guidance based on these results was discussed. Finally, limitations and future research were discussed.
