Kuder OIS scores of hospitalized veterans were compared with their preferential rankings of the 77 OIS occupations. Low intercorrelation was found though test-retest reliabilities were .93 and .76 respectively. OIS responses tended to resemble those of construction and skilled trades workers and differ from those of men employed in artistic, verbal-linguistic, and social service and psychologically-oriented occupations. Professional occupations related to construction and skilled trades received highest ranking.
