SUMMARY
The results of a test for naming functions for objects (the F-test) given to clients at a rehabilitation centre are compared with the vocational guidance officer's ratings of the clients.
In a group with approximately equal scores on tests of general intelligence, clients with high scores on the F-test would seem to have more definite ideas as to their future careers than clients with low F-scores.
Regarding the outcome of attendance at a rehabilitation centre, the clients rated as “successful” show higher mean scores on the F-test.
Motivational and temperamental factors, thought by Guilford to influence results on tests similar to the F-test, may be considered to be responsible for the clients' varying degree of adjustment to their occupational situation.
