Methodology "Map of Interests"

The technique is used for career guidance and hiring purposes. Can be used to examine both adolescents and adults. The examination time for the subject is not limited, but the subject should be warned about the need to work for no more than 40-50 minutes.

Instructions : “You have the opportunity to continue your studies or get an interesting job. To help you choose a profession, we offer a list of questions. Think before answering each question. Try to give as specific an answer as possible.

If you have been convinced more than once that you really love or really like what we are asking about, then in the answer sheet, in the column under the same number as the question number, put two pluses; if you just like it (love it) - one plus; if you don’t know, doubt – zero; if you don’t like it (don’t like it) – minus; if you really don’t like it, two minuses.

Answer each point without missing a single one. If you have questions, ask immediately. There is no time limit for filling out the answer sheet.”

Processing the results comes down to counting the number of plus and minus signs in each column of the answer form, and then the second is subtracted from the first sum. Thus, we get 24 numbers with plus or minus signs, which correspond to 24 types of activities. 2-3 types of activities are selected that have received a large number of plus signs.

Note: If you like something else that is not included in the questionnaire, then write about it in the margins of the answer sheets.

Processing the results comes down to counting the number of “+” and “-” signs in each column of the answer form, and then subtracting the second from the first amount. Thus, we get 24 numbers with “+” or “-” signs, which correspond to 24 types of activities. Select 2-3 types of activities that have scored the most “+” signs

A simplified version of the technique is possible, where subjects only put a “+” sign, and skip activities that they don’t like, leaving an empty cell on the answer form. In this case, only the number of “+” signs across the columns is counted.

KEY

It is recommended to use the technique for subjects under the age of 35. It is possible to use the questionnaire both individually and in a group. Reliable results are also obtained when the experimenter reads questions to a group of subjects, although in this case the response time is artificially limited.

(Modification of A. E. Golomshtok’s technique)

Description of the technique. Designed for students in grades IX-X1, it includes 144 questions, which are distributed within 24 types of activities: physics, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, medicine, agriculture, forestry, philology, journalism, history, art, geology, geography, social activities, law, transport, pedagogy, blue-collar jobs, service sector, construction, light industry, technology, electrical engineering.

Procedure. Students are given lists of questions and “Answer Sheets.” After filling out the passport part of the “Answer Sheet”, students are asked to read the instructions for working with the questionnaire.

Instructions to the subject. To help you choose a profession, we offer a list of questions. Think before answering each question and try to give as accurate an answer as possible. If you have been convinced more than once that you really love or like what we are asking about, then in the answer sheet in the chapter under the same number as the question number, put “++”; if you just like it - “+”; if you don’t know, doubt - 0; if you don’t like it - “-”; if you really don’t like it - “--”. Answer every point, don’t miss a single one. If you have questions, ask immediately. There is no time limit for filling out the Answer Sheet.

Processing the results. In the completed “Answer Sheet,” the number of “pluses” and “minuses” (separately) in each column is counted. The results are recorded in the appropriate cells under the columns. Each column of the “Answer Sheet”, thanks to a special grouping of questions, corresponds to one of the types of activities. After counting the results, the columns containing the largest number of “pluses” are highlighted. The types of activities corresponding to them should be primarily taken into account when assessing the student’s professional orientation. For an informed recommendation on choosing a profession, it is also necessary to take into account the columns with the largest number of “cons”. It should be taken into account that the conclusion about the characteristics of interests should be clarified later in a special individual conversation with the student.

Scales: professions - physics, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, medicine, agriculture, forestry, philology, journalism, history, art, geology, geography, social work, law, transport, pedagogy, blue-collar jobs, service sector, construction, light industry, technology, electrical engineering

Processing test results

Processing the results comes down to counting the positive and negative responses of respondents in accordance with the key. Next, the second amount is subtracted from the first amount. Thus, we get 24 numbers with “+” or “-” signs, which correspond to 24 types of activities. 2-3 types of activities are selected that have received the most “+” signs.

A simplified version of the technique is possible, where subjects only put a “+” sign, and skip activities that they don’t like, leaving an empty cell on the answer form. In this case, only the number of “+” signs across the columns is counted.
