Interest Questionnaire H

The Interest Questionnaire H was developed to map interests in degree courses and related sectors. The items were constructed by asking students of various courses at the HBO/WO level what they found interesting about their degrees. This resulted in a large number of interest statements. After several analyses, a questionnaire was developed that identifies interest areas in the language of students. This questionnaire is primarily intended for study programme choice but can also be usefully employed for vocational choice.

An additional interest questionnaire in the Test-Toolkit is the Interest questionnaire for Tasks and Sectors (ITS). The ITS is especially useful for people with some work experience and is mostly used in career coaching situations.
