High reliability was observed for all scales of the Individual Spherical Inventory according to Cronbach's alpha. Most scales had acceptable validity. There were significant correlations between the scalesand Betz beliefs; (artistic, social services r=. 5; p=. 001), (scale nature, Investigative r=. 71, p=.001) (helping, artistic r=.67,p=. 001), (helping with social r=. 63, p=. 001), (scale influence with artistic r=. 69, p=. 001), (scale realistic with sciences r=.71, p=. 05) and (financial analysis with conventional r=. 6, p=. 001).
