This report summarizes the developmental research to create the O*NET Mini Interest Profiler (Mini-IP), a shorter 30-item version of the Interest Profiler Short Form (Short-IP). The impetus for shortening the Interest Profiler was to develop brief RIASEC scales for use in mobile settings where it is ideal to have an interest measure that can be completed rapidly and easily.
