Abstract: With the increase of competition in employment, career life planning has attracted more and more attention. Based on the need of high school graduates to select satisfactory majors and the basis of previous research on vocational interest, we explored the characteristers of high school students and developed an Interest Scale for College Entrance and Career Guidance. The vocational interest of Chinese high school students are classified into seven types: Artistic, Conventional, Enterprising, Investigative, Natural, Social and Technological. Both of the reliability and validity of the scale are satisfying. After certification and put into use throughout the whole country, it earns positive remarks from users.
