Vocational Research Interest Inventory (VRII) measures an evaluee's interest in various career areas including artistic, scientific, mechanical, industrial, humanitarian, lead/influence, selling, accommodating, protective, plants/animals, business detail, and physical performance

The Vocational Research Interest Inventory (VRII), a 162-item interest assessment, measures a user’s interest in 12 scales which correspond to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Interest Areas. These areas are:

Artistic
Scientific
Plants/Animals
Protective
Mechanical
Industrial

Business Detail
Selling
Accommodating
Humanitarian
Lead/Influence
Physical Performing

Written at a fourth grade reading level, VRII offers age and gender-based norms, as well as VRI’s powerful Individual Profile Analysis (IPA). This IPA methodology, an exclusive to VRI interest assessments, identifies significant preferences within each evaluee’s unique 12-scale profile.

The VRII is also available in Spanish, known as IIIV, Inventario Investigativo de Interes Vocacional. The Spanish IIIV has been reviewed and approved by a panel of Hispanic professionals from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds. Norms are based exclusively upon the responses of Hispanic U.S. citizens.

The VRII offers self-administration instructions, hand scoring and fill-in graphic score displays that are accompanied by user-friendly explanatory text.
