Abstract

In the present study was undertaken aimed at assessing the psychometric properties of the Activities section (E) of the Self-Directed Search (SDS-E). To meet this goal were administered the SDS-E and Career Intentions Questionnaire to 340 students last year of middle school (Polimodal) of the city of Cordoba. Then the following studies were conducted: item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability, and predictive validity of choice goals. The results show how a 6-factor solution is viable for our population. The internal consistency of the six factors was appropriate. Studies were conducted predictive validity in relation to the intention of choice runs. In the latter study, between 22% to 40% of the career goal choice variance is explained by the independent variables. Overall, the results are encouraging and can be considered an acceptable option to measure professional interests.
