=== Interest inventories ===
Psychological tests include interest inventories.<ref>Anastasi, A., & Urbina, S. (1997). ''Psychological testing'' (7th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.</ref> These tests are used primarily for career counseling. Interest inventories include items that ask about the preferred activities and interests of people seeking career counseling. The rationale is that if the individual's activities and interests are similar to the modal pattern of activities and interests of people who are successful in a given occupation, then the chances are high that the individual would find satisfaction in that occupation. A widely used instrument is the [[Strong Interest Inventory]], which is used in career assessment, career counseling, and educational guidance.<ref>Donnay, D.A.C. (1997). E.K.
