OASIS-3:Aptitude Series - Occupational Aptitude Survey and
Interest
Schedule — Third Edition
The Occupational Aptitude Survey and Interest Schedule-Third Edition
(oasis-3) consists
of two related tests: the oasis-3 Aptitude Survey and the oasis-3
Interest Schedule. The
tests were normed on the same national sample of
2,005 individuals from
20 states.
Teachers, counselors, and other professionals
can easily use the oasis-3
to assist in
the career development of students in Grades 8 through 12 and adults.
The oasis-3 can
be administered individually
or in groups. Each test takes from 30 to 45
minutes to
administer and can be
hand scored or machine scored.
Aptitude Survey
The oasis-3 Aptitude Survey measures six broad aptitude factors that are
directly related
to skills and abilities required in more than 20,000 jobs listed in the
Dictionary of
Occupational Titles. The Aptitude Survey yields six scores: General
Ability, Verbal Aptitude, Numerical Aptitude, Spatial Aptitude,
Perceptual Aptitude, and Manual Dexterity. Validity coefficients with
similar subtests of the General Aptitude Battery range from .60 to .80.
Median alpha reliabilities range from .70 to .91. Each Aptitude Survey
kit can test up to 50 students in groups of 10.
Interest Schedule
The oasis-3 Interest Schedule measures 12 interest factors directly
related to
the
occupations listed in the Guide of Occupational Exploration. The factors
are Artistic,
Scientific, Nature, Protective, Mechanical, Industrial, Business Detail,
Selling, Accommodating, Humanitarian, Leading-Influencing, and Physical
Performing. The Interest Schedule contains 240 items scored as Like,
Neutral,
or Dislike. Alpha reliabilities range from .83 to .96.
Construct validity was determined through principal components analysis
and empirical research.
