Most vocational interest instruments are using textual stimuli which require individuals' reading ability. For individuals with reading difficulty, another form of stimuli is needed. This study aimed to develop pictures that can be used as stimuli in a new vocational interest instrument for adolescents. 30 pictures which depicted job activities were developed based on Holland's theoretical construct. 101 professionals rated the pictures, while 171 adolescents examined whether the pictures could be interpreted appropriately. Six factors were formed according to the factor analysis with a total of 70.425% variance explained. 11 pictures were interpreted appropriately by 100% of the adolescents, while 19 pictures were interpreted appropriately by a minimum 89,4% of the adolescents. The limitation of this study such as the job activities that have not been depicted in the pictures as well as the small sample size of the professionals need to be considered. © 2018 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
