Description
The function computes the three-letter Compatibility index according to Wiggins & Moody (1981).
Usage
1
con_compindex_holland(a, b)
Arguments
a
a character vector with person Holland codes.
b
a character vector with environment Holland codes.
Details
The function finds the congruence according to Wiggins & Moody (1981) between the three-letter Holland codes given in argument a, which is the person code, and argument b, which is the environment code. The Index as defined by Wiggins & Moody (1981) targets (only) three letters from the Holland code. The degree of congruence is output, according to its definition by Wiggins & Moody (1981), as a reciprocal value of a distance. This means, for example, that a value of '8' is the result for a perfect fit of two three-letter codes !
Value
a numeric with value for congruence.
