It is very important to consider student's personality, aptitudes, and interest to choose an appropriate major or career. This study explored three overarching topics: Are there difference in vocational interest types by gender? Do students' vocational interest type concur with type related to medicine? Are the results of Strong Interest Inventory useful in student career counseling?
The subjects were 124 freshmen in Konyang University College of Medicine. The Strong Interest Inventory (Korean version) was used. This were divided into three scales: general occupational themes (GOT), basic interest scales (BIS), and personal style scales (PSS). The data were analyzed by the frequency analysis, chi-square test and t-test.
From GOT six interest types, male and female showed significant differences in realistic (t=2.71, p=0.008), artist (t=-3.33, p=0.001), and social (t=-2.08, p=0.039) types. From PSS, the score of work style was below 50 points, it is mean they prefer to work alone, with the ideas, materials rather than work with people. Investigative type was the most frequent type (63.7%) and social type was the least (8.1%). The interest test results were very useful in student career counseling with professors (n=53). The satisfaction survey results showed 58.5% of professors were very satisfied as the data was "helpful in understanding the students," "useful in leading natural conversation (41.5%)," and "helpful in creating rapport (39.6%)."
Strong vocational interest types explains an individual's career interests, and reflect the characteristics of medical students are. The finding of the study can be used to provide student counseling and developing a tailored student career guidance program.
考虑学生的个性、能力和兴趣对于选择合适的专业或职业非常重要。本研究探讨了三个总体主题：职业兴趣类型在性别上是否存在差异？学生的职业兴趣类型是否与医学相关类型一致？斯特朗兴趣问卷的结果在学生职业咨询中是否有用？
研究对象为124名公州大学医学院的大一新生。使用了斯特朗兴趣问卷（韩文版）。该问卷分为三个量表：一般职业主题（GOT）、基本兴趣量表（BIS）和个人风格量表（PSS）。数据通过频率分析、卡方检验和t检验进行分析。
在GOT的六种兴趣类型中，男性和女性在现实型（t = 2.71，p = 0.008）、艺术型（t = -3.33，p = 0.001）和社会型（t = -2.08，p = 0.039）类型上存在显著差异。在PSS方面，工作风格得分低于50分，这意味着他们更喜欢独自工作，处理想法、材料，而不是与人合作。研究型是最常见的类型（63.7%），社会型是最少的（8.1%）。兴趣测试结果对教授进行学生职业咨询非常有用（n = 53）。满意度调查结果显示，58.5%的教授非常满意，因为这些数据“有助于了解学生”、“有助于引导自然对话（41.5%）”以及“有助于建立融洽关系（39.6%）”。
强烈的职业兴趣类型解释了个体的职业兴趣，并反映了医学生的特点。该研究结果可用于提供学生咨询和制定量身定制的学生职业指导计划。
