Abstract
In a recent review, Gati (1991)Criticized Holland's model of vocational interests and concluded that his own hierarchicalmodel was superior. A major problem with Gati's comparison of his and Holland's models was thatit was based on an incomplete specification of Holland's model. The relative validity ofHolland's order and circumplex models and Gati's 3-group partition model as they fit 104published (1965–1989) correlation matrices is evaluated. Using 3 separate structuralmeta-analytic techniques (Hubert & Arabie's,1987, randomization test of hypothesized order relations, confirmatoryfactor analysis, and individual-differences cluster analysis), the fit of Holland's and Gati'smodels to the data were compared. Holland's order and circumplex models were found to beadequate representations of the structure of vocational personalities and work environments andwere found to be superior to Gati's model.
