Abstract
Aim: To investigate and compare the Structure of vocational interest in gifted and non-gifted high school students, based on Tracey's Spherical Model in Shahre-kord. Materials & Methods: The method used in this descriptive study was causal-comparative. 400 participants were selected by using random sampling. data was collected using A Tracy's personal globe questionnaire. The data was analyzed using independent T- Test. Results: The results showed that in five scales of vocational interests, among eight basic interest types(social facilities, managing ,business detail,data processing & mechanical), there are significant differences in Lower prestige interest types(Quality control & basic services),Holland RIASEC Types(realistic, social, enterprising & conventional) among gifted and non-gifted students. The mean differences were higher in ordinary schools’ students but in two types of dimensional scales in gifted students (people/thing, data/ ideas) the means were significantly higher. Conclusions: According to the study, it can be concluded that despite the personality traits of gifted students, differences in their interests are only apparent in a few number of scales, due to different learning environments, uncommon styles of teaching, being under pressure by society & their family who suppress their interests. our recommendation for their teachers & family is attempting to identify student's interests as much as other educational dimensions.

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.
