Abstract
A translated version of the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI, Tracey, 2002) was administered to a Portuguese sample of college students (n = 312) and the data were examined with respect to its internal structure. Results of component analyses suggested, as expected, four substantive factors underlying PGI: General Interest, People/Things, Data/Ideas and Prestige. The randomized test of hypothesized order relations showed that spherical, eight and six (i.e., RIASEC) type models fit the Portuguese data equally well as data from the United States. No structure differences were found across gender. The results support the structural validity of the PGI to Portuguese respondents.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance publishes articles in relation to work and leisure, career development, career counselling and guidance and career education, which have preferably either an international content (e.g. comparative studies, multi or cross-cultural perspectives, regional surveys, etc.) or contribute to topics of broad international interest (e.g. theoretical developments, ethical issues, etc.). Important national developments which are of wider interest can be included. All articles should present implications for practice.
