The Guilford-Zimmerman Interest Survey attempts to produce a test of comprehensive


evidence concerning interest patterns and their vocational implications. It aims to uncover the
testee’s interests, abilities, skills, motivations, values, and other personal factors that help
them self-define and construct their career (Harrington and Long, 2012).
The present subject has scored 8, 2, 22, 36, 42, 39, 31, 1, 12 and 12 in the categories Natural,
Mechanical, Scientific, Creative, Literary, Artistic, Service, Enterprising, Leadership, and
Clerical respectively.
The corresponding percentiles with reference to appropriate norms are 7, 19, 69, 73, 99, 77,
64, 2, 17 and 54, respectively.
The subject, therefore shows highest interest in Literary and second highest in Artistic
interests. The testee has scored the lowest in Enterprising and second lowest in Natural
interest.
Literary Interests involves an appreciation of written and spoken language; interest in
reading and writing; and preference for working with verbal materials so as to evaluate, use
or improve them (Saikh and Parvin, 2017). The subject has scored a high score of 42 and a
percentile of 99, suggesting that she has a preference for language, writing and speaking, and
working with written materials. She has a competency in language abilities, and considers
creating, evaluating, and promoting valued literary works as valued goals. Her possible
vocations can be that of a librarian, translator, literary critic, journalist, writer, and editor.
Artistic Interests involve an appreciation of beauty in art, music, dancing or drama, an
interest in and desire to enjoy, evaluate or participate in the creation of works of art that have
emotional or aesthetic appeal (Saikh and Parvin, 2017). The subject has scored the second
highest score of 39 and a percentile of 77, which indicates that she has an inclination
towards expressive, artistic activities, involving manipulation of physical, linguistic or natural
materials for artistic creations. Her values and goals would include appreciation of beauty, to
be responsible for artistic work and contributions which are aesthetically appealing. The
subject is competent in expressive and artistic skills and her possible vocations could be that
of music or art critic, interior decorator, actor, cartoonist and architect.
Enterprising interests include interest in buying and selling, enjoyment of business dealings
for their own sake, orientation toward a profit motive, willingness to assume risks for
possible financial gains (Saikh and Parvin, 2017). The subject has scored the lowest in this
Interest with a score of 1 and a percentile of 2. This alludes that the participant has next to no
interest in manipulating consumer behaviour, has no competency in interpersonal persuasive
skills. The subject does not consider economic gain and personal achievement as her values
and goals. The subject is least likely to choose the vocations of businessperson, agent, sales
person, realtor, buyer, treasurer and sports promoter.
Natural Interest includes an interest in being outdoors, a desire to work with plants and
animal, a concern for the protection of natural resources (Saikh and Parvin, 2017). The
subject has a second lowest score of 8 in the above interest, and a percentile of 7. Thus, the
subject has little interest in working outdoors, in natural settings and rugged environments.
The subject has a comparatively low competency in strong, physical and practical skills, and
has less knowledge of natural or biological surroundings. The subject does not consider
freedom of movement in natural settings, and protection of land and wildlife as values and
goals. The subject, therefore, is less likely to go for vocations such as farmer, gardener,
agricultural inspector, fish and wildlife manager, and park ranger.
Hence, the emperical measurement of interests forms the basis of directing participants
towards their preferred fields and vocations, with the GZII. The present subject has scored 8,
2, 22, 36, 42, 39, 31, 1, 12 and 12 in the categories Natural, Mechanical, Scientific, Creative,
Literary, Artistic, Service, Enterprising, Leadership, and Clerical respectively, with the
highest score in Literary and the Lowest Interest in Enterprising Interests.
