    The inter-domain interactions interests - personality - abilities (self-estimated) were analysed in a sample of 171 secondary school students aged between 15 and 20 (66% girls; 34% boys). The students were divided into four different educational groups: Science and Technology, Socio-Economic Sciences, Languages and Humanities, Visual Arts. Three instruments were used to carry out this study: The Spherical Model of Interests Inventory (PGI-PT) to measure interests; the Five Factor Model Questionnaire - Abbreviated Version (MCFVA) as a measure of personality; and the Inventory of Work-Relevant Capacities (ICRT) to assess cognitive functioning based on self-estimates. Through factor analysis, 6 main factors were extracted which, as expected, point to the existence of some inter-domain convergences. Subsequently, a MANOVA revealed that the complex traits found have external validity, since it was possible to differentiate the profiles of the four educational courses according to the six clusters identified.

    Foram analisadas as interações interdomínios interesses - personalidade – capacidades (autoestimadas) numa amostra de 171 alunos do ensino secundário, com idades entre os 15 e 20 anos (66% raparigas; 34% rapazes).

    Os estudantes encontravam-se distribuídos por quatro grupos de percursos educativos distintos: Ciências e Tecnologias, Ciências Socioeconómicas, Línguas e Humanidades; Artes Visuais. Para realizar este estudo foram utilizados três instrumentos: Inventário do Modelo Esférico dos Interesses (PGI-PT) para medir os interesses; Questionário do Modelo de Cinco Fatores – Versão Abreviada (MCF-VA) como medida da personalidade; e o Inventário de Capacidades Relevantes para o Trabalho (ICRT) para avaliar o funcionamento cognitivo baseando-se em autoestimavas. Através de análises fatoriais, foram extraídos 6 fatores principais que apontam, tal como esperado, para a existência de algumas convergências inter-dominios. Posteriormente, uma MANOVA revelou que os complexos-traços encontrados apresentam validade externa, pois foi possível diferenciar os perfis dos quatro cursos educativos em função dos seis agregados identificados.
