Wrerm (25) found that many students of low intelligence
had unrealistic levels of aspiration relative to vocation.
Of 10,000 freshmen entering junior college, 51 per cent of
the group which scored below the fifteenth percentile
(against national norms) on the American Council on Educa-
tion Psychological Examination selected a vocation on the
professional level. After two years of study in junior
college, 51 per cent of the group still wanted to pursue a
career on the professional level, although none of the group
had achieved a B average. The vocational choices made two
years earlier remained the same for 42 per cent of the group,
but 58 per cent made a change.
Another group was defined including all entering fresh-
men who scored above the ninety-fifth percentile. Sixty-
eight per cent of this group originally chose vocations on
the professional level. After two years of study 38 per
cent of the total group had changed majors at least once.
An investigation of a similar nature was conducted by
Sisson (18). He found that 83 per cent of a group entering
college wanted a professional level vocation, but that only
47 per cent completed the required study for such. Also of
interest was the observation that an undetermined number of
those students who entered a profession had changed from one
profession to another before completing their study.
