The Vocational Interests of Beautiful Women

This paper reports the analysis of Strong Vocational Interest Blank scores for about 100 fashion models. Their interest patterns reflect preferences for the dramatic over the routine, the unstructured situation over the structured. These girls favor verbal occupations, and show particular aversion toward working with numbers in precise, disciplined settings. They are pretty, they know it, and they prefer activities that permit them to take advantage of their attractiveness.
