Adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the O*NET Interests Profiler – Short Form
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to adapt to Brazilian Portuguese the O*NET Interests Profiler - Short Form. The instrument evaluates vocational interests according to the RIASEC model, which includes six types (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional). Validity evidence was obtained through Principal Components Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, correlations between secondary concepts from the theoretical model, and contrasts between groups. PCA results, the contrasts between selected occupational groups and correlational results between secondary concepts were in accordance with theoretical expectations. However, the MDS results did not fully confirm the hexagonal structure. Overall results suggest the adapted instrument has acceptable evidences of validity and reliability. Further studies are suggested in order to increase the suitability of the Brazilian version of the instrument.
