Abstract: Human curiosity and the pursuit of areas of interest are fundamental drivers of exploration and skill development. One avenue for understanding vocational interests is the Reading-Free Vocational Interest Inventory Third Edition (RFVII-3), particularly relevant for individuals, including those with mental disabilities. The RFVII-3 assesses vocational interests and aligns individuals with specific vocational clusters. However, its traditional face-to-face, one-on-one administration, and manual scoring present significant challenges, consuming approximately 1.5 hours. This paper presents a novel approach to streamline the RFVII-3 assessment process by developing a digital prototype. This device captures and scores RFVII-3 item images selected by examinees, instantly aligning them with relevant vocational clusters. The result is generated in less than five seconds after completing the last item, effectively expediting vocational interest assessment. This innovative technology promises to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of vocational interest assessment, particularly benefiting individuals with intellectual disabilities.
