Interest Fit Beyond the RIASEC: The Comprehensive Assessment of Basic Interests—O*NET (CABIN-NET)
Open accessAbstract
Over the past half-century, Holland’s RIASEC model has dominated vocational interest research. Although the RIASEC categories effectively capture general occupational themes, their breadth obscures meaningful variability across underlying basic interests , which are more refined interest scales. In this research, we adapted the Comprehensive Assessment of Basic Interests (CABIN; Su et ., 2019) to be used alongside O*NET for assessing interest fit, resulting in the 60-item CABIN-NET that measures 20 basic interest scales organized under RIASEC domains. In Study 1, we refined items for the CABIN-NET using a nationally representative adult sample ( N = 768). In Studies 2 and 3, we collected extensive reliability and validity evidence using longitudinal samples of graduates from four-year universities ( N = 816) and community colleges ( N = 560). Across samples, results consistently showed that basic interest fit had stronger predictive power for career outcomes compared to RIASEC fit. Overall, the CABIN-NET provides a short, reliable measure of both basic interests and RIASEC interests, offering two ways of assessing person-occupation fit and balancing bandwidth and fidelity. The CABIN-NET also offers a new content-based connection between basic interests and occupational knowledge, providing theoretical and practical implications for incorporating basic interests into person-environment fit research and applications.

TL;DR
The authors developed and validated the 60-item CABIN-NET, a public-domain measure of 20 basic interests organized under the six RIASEC domains and linked to O*NET occupational knowledge variables. Across three samples, basic interest fit generally predicted career outcomes more strongly than RIASEC fit.
Key findings
- The CABIN-NET measures 20 basic interests with 3 items each, organized hierarchically under RIASEC, and connects to 20 O*NET knowledge variables, yielding 26 total connections to occupational variables including RIASEC links.
- Reliability was adequate across samples: Study 1 basic-interest alphas ranged from .77 (Design) to .91 (Arts, Writing), and RIASEC alphas from .88 to .91; Study 2 basic-interest alphas ranged from .75 (Customer Service) to .91 (Writing), with test-retest reliabilities from .62 (Teaching) to .80 (Writing); Study 3 basic-interest alphas ranged from .76 (Customer Service, Design) to .84 (Arts), with test-retest reliabilities from .59 (Teaching) to .80 (Writing).
- Structural analyses supported basic interests over a RIASEC-only structure: basic-interest CFA models fit well, whereas RIASEC baseline models fit poorly; ESEM loadings showed each basic interest loaded most strongly on its intended RIASEC domain (from .37 for Math on Investigative to .97 for Arts on Artistic), and RIASEC circular-order randomization tests yielded CI = .53 (Study 1), .75 (Study 2), and .61 (Study 3).
- Basic interest fit showed stronger criterion-related validity than RIASEC fit: in Study 1, basic interest fit correlated with career choice satisfaction at r = .30 and job satisfaction at r = .27, versus RIASEC fit at r = .18 and r = .15; in Study 2, basic fit correlated r = .23 and r = .22 versus RIASEC r = .13 and r = .03; in Study 3, basic fit correlated r = .30 and r = .30 versus RIASEC r = .21 and r = .21.
Methods
- Study 1 refined an initial 80-item pool into the 60-item CABIN-NET using a nationally representative Prolific sample of U.S. adults (final N = 768; 49.9% female; mean age 45.8 years). Studies 2 and 3 validated the final measure longitudinally in recent graduates from four-year universities (N = 816; 6-month follow-up n = 416) and community colleges (N = 560; 8-month follow-up n = 277).
- Participants completed 60 interest items on a 1–5 Likert scale, reported current and ideal occupations that were coded to O*NET occupations, and completed career choice satisfaction, job satisfaction, and perceived fit measures.
- Analyses included Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability, unidimensional CFA and ESEM for structural validity, randomization tests of RIASEC circular order, convergent/discriminant correlations with O*NET occupation ratings, and profile correlations linking interest fit to career outcomes.
Limitations
- The paper states that survey space prevented inclusion of an additional established interest inventory; future work should include objective and other-source career outcomes, such as job performance; longitudinal samples were new to the workforce, so longer-term career-stage studies are needed; and the hierarchical CABIN-NET representation does not comprehensively cover the broad RIASEC domains.
- Evident from the text: Studies 2 and 3 had follow-up response rates of 51% and 47%, respectively, raising possible attrition concerns; both longitudinal samples were predominantly female (70.1% and 75.9%), and Study 1 was concurrent rather than longitudinal.

Study 2 sample size differs in Table 4
MinorStudy 2 is described as having 816 participants, but Table 4 labels its structural-validity analyses N = 817.
“the final sample was composed of 816 participants (70.1% female, 27.6% male).”
“Study 2 (university graduates) N = 817”
Table 6 disagrees with the reported ideal-occupation RIASEC convergent correlations
MinorThe results text reports average convergent correlations of .24 and .21 for Studies 2 and 3, whereas Table 6 reports .30 and .33.
“the average correlation was higher for corresponding dimensions (r = .24/.21, SD = .05/.06)”
“| Convergent correlation | .23 | .05 | .30 | .42 | .33 | .43 |”
Study 1 current-occupation RIASEC profile SD differs from Table 6
MinorThe results text gives the standard deviation as .43, while Table 6 gives .46 for the same profile correlation.
“their current occupations (r = .13,SD = .43)”
“| Profile correlation | .13 | .46 | .13 | .46 | .08 | .48 |”
Table 6 disagrees with the reported ideal-occupation RIASEC divergent correlations
MinorThe results text reports average divergent correlations of −.04 for both Studies 2 and 3, whereas Table 6 reports positive values of .13 and .08.
“than for non-corresponding correlations (r = À.04/-.04,SD = .11/.11; all ts (5) > 11.17, ps < .05).”
“| Divergent correlation | À.04 | .09 | .13 | .46 | .08 | .48 |”
P-O fit is named inconsistently
MinorThe results call P-O fit person-occupation fit, but Table 7 defines the reported outcome as person-organization fit.
“perceived person-occupation (P-O) fit (r = .22/.17)”
“P-O Fit = Person-Organization Fit”
Study 3 basic-interest alpha maximum is misstated
MinorThe text says the highest Study 3 basic-interest alpha was .84 for Arts. Table 2 gives Arts an alpha of .89 and Writing an alpha of .92.
“For Sample 3, Cronbach alphas for basic interest scales ranged from α = .76(Customer Service, Design) to α = .84(Arts)”
“| Writing | .91 | .91 | .92 | .80 | .80 |”
Study 1 ideal-occupation basic-interest profile SD differs from Table 6
MinorThe results text gives the standard deviation as .26, while Table 6 gives .27 for the same profile correlation.
“ideal occupations (r = .20,SD = .26)”
“| Profile correlation | .20 | .27 | .23 | .26 | .25 | .28 |”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-28.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
