Morrisby
Careers Questionnaire
The Morrisby Careers Questionnaire
measures interest in 36 separate occupational
areas, described under the broad headings of People, Information, and Things.
See structure.
Not
all interest questionnaires are the same. The Morrisby Careers Questionnaire has been designed to be straightforward to complete, taking approximately 30
minutes, but is a technically advanced instrument
designed to reduce the impact of two significant issues with conventional interest questionnaire design.
1.
Data is collected Normatively (1-4 scale) but scored and
presented Ipsatively (compared against the individuals other
preferences - not other people's scores). This allows
an individuals relative interests to be measured without
reference to others who have completed the questionnaire or
forcing them into making decision they don't feel comfortable
with - which
is what it's all about.
2.
Interest scales are derived by a combination of Job
Content scales, Job Context (Where, With whom and How you would
like to work), and Job Level. This allows the questions
to be comparatively opaque (reducing both gender bias and
the ease with which individuals are able to lead the
questionnaire).
Finally a cross check is made between task information and
endorsement of job titles.
