Introduction to the Strong Interest Inventory and Skills Confidence Inventory (SIISCI)

The inventories measure a client's perceived level of interest in performing skills related to the six General Occupational Themes: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. The client's confidence level is also compared with his or her level of interest in the Themes. This measure opens discussion of your client's confidence level in his or her skills, a factor that could be preventing the client from considering high-interest careers.
