informational note: all versions of the Strong Interest Inventory are the exact same assessment. Stated in another way... when
taking the Inventory, all 291 questions are exactly the same for each version. The differences are in the printed results. By
design, some are brief (the Profile and the iStartStrong series), and some are comprehensive, such as the Interpretive Report.
In addition, depending upon which targeted group each Strong is being written for, the last four pages of each are differentiated
according to their situational variables in life.

| Q: again...what's the difference' between the iStartStrong and Strong Profile series? |

Answer: In an effort to reflect the times we're in and the new ways we live, the market research folks at CPP (the publishers of
the Strong) found that many people do not like information displayed linearly via charts and graphs and numbers (as the Profile
series does).This seems to be especially true with younger clientel. As a result of these findings, the iStartStrong was created.
Being highly visual, colorful, and interactive, iStartStrong was also designed to be an 'easier - faster read'. And as part of this new
model of displaying information, iStartStrong version has embedded within it, a large amount of "live links". These clickable links
easily transport you to highly valuable websites to help in your career exploration efforts.
Again, however, it should be emphasized that whether the end product is the Strong Interest Inventory Profile or the iStartStrong
version, both are generated from the same exact data (the person's answers to the same 291 questions). Bottom line: some people
like charts and graphs and while others like a more aesthetically pleasing, faster-moving model.
