The SCII was used to evaluate the similarity of interests of a sample of practicing dentists and those interests of a sample of dental students. The two groups were found to have similar interest patterns, except for business and office considerations. While the SCII's specific vocation scale for dentistry did not yield very strong positive results in terms of identifying the dental students, it did reveal useful interest patterns. As a general instrument for self-assessment, or for counselors advising the young about a vocation in dentistry, the SCII has some utility if the pattern of interests is used.
