In vocational and educational psychology, but not in sport and exercise psychology, interests are a central personality construct used to explain human experience and behavior. The Sports Interests Inventory (SPIT), grounded on the theory of vocational personalities (Holland, 1997) and the general components of fitness (endurance, speed, coordination, strength), is designed to assess sports-related interests. Using a sample of 1,243 adolescents, this paper examines the psychometric quality of the SPIT. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that 11 scales are unidimensional. Their internal consistency ranged from .71 to .87. As expected, the SPIT scores correlated with both the Allgemeiner Interessentest (a multidimensional and general interest questionnaire; Bergmann & Eder, 2005) and the Skalen zur Erfassung des physischen Selbstkonzepts (a multidimensional self-concept questionnaire; Stiller, Würth & Alfermann, 2004). The SPIT is an instrument suitable for screening multidimensional interest profiles and may be used to describe adolescents in leisure and health sports.
