This study examined the relationship between the sub-
components of Holland's Self-Directed Search and independent,
objective measures of ability using a comprehensive battery
of well-validated tests of primary abilities corresponding
to each of Holland's six vocational interest types. The
sample consisted of 149 female undergraduate students, ages
18-25. Correlation of the ability measure test scores with
the four Self-Directed Search subcomponents revealed that
the subtests were not related to corresponding measures of
ability in a consistent fashion. Implications for the use
of the Self-Directed Search in assessing abilities are dis-
cussed along with suggestions for future research investi-
gating the relationhip between interest inventories and the
measurement of primary abilities.
