Abstract

Evaluation of the potential Labor Insertion and Career Patterns Salto de línea Salto de línea The investigation reflects the results achieved as a consequence of the implementation of the test evaluation on potential labor insertion (PEPI). The sample consists on 313 people, a 45.4% are male and 54.6% are females. The average age was 27 and a half years Old. 35.9% were employed and 64.1% were unemployed. he different scales that compose the instrument collect information on labor targets, attitude, availability, difficulties and fears in the pursuit and achievement of employ. A factor analysis of each scale allows to obtain twenty-six factors which will be analyzed in a second-order factor. The seven resulting factors are a validity proof of the PEPI labor, an standardised and validated test to be used in the field of vocational guidance. We obtain four cluster that show fear combinations, difficulties and the level of demand of individuals in relation to the pursuit and achievement of a job. The four conglomerates of subjects have received the names of «fearful, with strong points, want to work but not in any job», «with difficulties in finding a job but undemanding», «courageous and demanding» and «fearfuls and undemanding». Individual differences among the four groups allow to assess the situation in the career development of the subjects that form the sample: late incorporation to work, retrain and career change, defined career and diffuse career.
