This paper presents a typology of direct and vicarious achievement orientations relevant to adult problems. Direct and vicarious achievement patterns are related to sex role socialization and sex-linked occupational choice. An achievement-sexuality scoring system is described for channeling adults into traditional sex-linked occupations. Recommendations are developed for reevaluating and redesigning adult occupational and interpersonal roles which would take into account vicarious and direct achievement orientations.
