A Hebrew version of the Brook Test was used as an unbiased, non‐suggestive instrument to measure the difference in interests between boys and girls aged 14–18 (grade 9–12). The largest difference (one standard deviation) was in technical interest. A group of 166 adults from four occupations was used to cross‐check the results. In this group the interests related much more to the subjects' occupations than to their sex.
