Abstract
Finding vocational interest assessment tools that possess both desirable psychometric properties and relevance to contemporary developments constitutes a current challenge in Iran.
Objective: The purpose of this scoping review was to compile a comprehensive inventory of vocational interest assessment tools available in Iran whose psychometric properties have been examined.
Method: To this end, a total of 52 articles were extracted from the Civilica, Comprehensive Portal of Humanities, Noormags, MagIran, and SID databases. The article selection process was conducted based on the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram, and following the screening process, 12 sample articles (published between 1377 and 1397) were selected.
Findings: The analyses revealed that most vocational interest assessment tools in Iran have been developed based on Holland’s interest structure and Tracy’s spherical model.
Conclusion: Furthermore, in examining the psychometric properties of these instruments, emphasis has been primarily placed on internal structure validity and internal consistency reliability; however, no instrument based on Iranian indigenous culture has been developed to date. Future research is essential to address existing gaps in validity evidence for vocational interest assessment tools in Iran.
