| Abstract: | A translated version of the Personal Globe Inventory (PGI, Tracey, 2002) was administered to a Portuguese sample of college students (n = 312) and the data were examined with respect to its internal structure. Results of component analyses suggested, as expected, four substantive factors underlying PGI: General Interest, People/Things, Data/Ideas and Prestige. The randomized test of hypothesized order relations showed that spherical, eight and six (i.e., RIASEC) type models fit the Portuguese data equally well as data from the United States. No structure differences were found across gender. The results support the structural validity of the PGI to Portuguese respondents. |
