Abstract: | Obtained follow-up responses from 1,091 students who had taken the California Occupational Preference System Interest Inventory (COPSII) in Grades 10–12, and each S was categorized by his/her current job or college major to evaluate predictive validity of the COPSII. Results indicate that for 60 to 74% of the present sample, the COPSII was an accurate instrument for prediction of career choice or college major on graduation from high school.
