Abstract	The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between problem-solving style as measured by "VIEW: An Assessment of Problem-solving Style" and career interests or preferences in high school students as measured by the "Kuder Career Search with Person Match." Three-hundred forty-two eighth through eleventh grade junior and senior high school students from a suburban high school participated in this study. "VIEW" yields information about six individual problem-solving styles along three dimensions: Orientation to Change (Explorer vs. Developer), Manner of Processing (External vs. Internal), and Ways of Deciding (People-Oriented vs. Task-oriented). The Kuder Career Search with Person Match provides scores according to 16 career interest categories as well as Holland's RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) model of categories of personality/career types. With respect to the Orientation to Change dimension, Explorers displayed a preference for the Kuder Arts/Communication (Artistic) Career Cluster. Externals displayed a preference for the Kuder Sales/Management (Enterprising) Career Cluster. With respect to the Ways of Deciding Dimension, those who had a People-Oriented decision-making style had a greater preference for the Kuder Arts/Communication (Artistic) Cluster and the Kuder Social/Personal Services (Social) Cluster while those who had a Task-Oriented decision-making style had a greater preference for the Kuder Outdoor/Mechanical (Realistic) Cluster and the Kuder Science/Technology (Investigative) Career. (As Provided).
