Sažetak
The goal of the study was to test the adequacy of Tracey's spherical and Holland's hexagonal model in samples of Croatian and Serbian young adults. The joint sample consisted of 1190 respondents ; 630 coming from Croatia and 560 from Serbia, both males and females, at average age of 23 years. As measures of vocational interests, Croatian and Serbian versions of the Personal Globe Inventory were applied. The adequacy of models was analyzed by using Hubert and Arabie's randomization test of hypothetical orders, Myors' test, Multidimensional scaling procedure and Exploratory factor analysis. Results have shown that in both samples spherical and hexagonal model explained the structure of vocational interests well and to similar extent as in previous studies. Also, great similarity of vocational interest structure in Croatian and Serbian sample was found.
