The Reliability and Factorial Validity of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Liberal Arts Majors

Carol J. Turner

Rutgers, The State University

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of four-self-assessment instruments designed to help college students identify occupations consistent with a major field of study. Four hundred twenty-five liberal arts students volunteered to complete one form on the Self-Assessment Questionnaire. The reliability indices of the forms, estimated by coefficient alpha, ranged from .81 to .98. The construct validity of the separate forms was evaluated through factor analysis. On the basis of this evidence, the self-assessment approach was recommended to help college students identify occupations consistent with their major field of study.
