The CDPS is comprised of eight subscales, including six vocational pattern scale (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) according to Holland's theory of vocational interests and two academic pattern scale (Humanistic and Scientific) according to current senior high tracking system in Taiwan. The talented samples were 528 eleventh grade students derived from 8 senior high schools, stratified in Taiwan northern, central, southern, and eastern areas. The comparative group was 1,214 eleventh grade regular students derived from the CDPS norm data. By means of two-way analysis of variance, it was found that males were superior to females on Realistic, Investigative, and Scientific scales, while females were superior to males on Social, Artistic, and Humanistic ones. There were no significant gender differences on Enterprising and Conventional. As to group differences, the strength career development patterns(CDPs) of the talented were, in general, in accordance with their types of talented class. For example, the scientific ones were inclined to Realistic, Investigative, and Scientific domains, the humansocial ones were inclined to Social and Humanistic, the artistic ones were inclined to Artistic and Humanistic. Some typical cases were illustrated for interpreting individual strength and weakness of CDPs.
