Abstract: | On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Strong Interest Inventory (1927–1997), this article reviews the history of this landmark inventory and the legacy of E. K. Strong, Jr.; specifically, his development of the inventorying method and use of criterion-related scale development. The recent trend of content-related scale development is also reviewed. Recent innovations in the Strong and future directions for predicting career behavior are discussed. Overall, the early empirical work conducted by Strong created a sound foundation for predicting vocational behavior and for later innovations in career assessment. |
