The purposes of this study were to compare the vocational level standard scores and neuropsychological factor scores of the McCarron-Dial Evaluation System(MDS) in adults with mental retardation(MR) and adults with pervasive developmental disorder(PDD), and to ascertain the most significant variables to vocational level standard scores.Eighty seven adults with MR and forty adults with PDD were evaluated with MDS. The results were as follows: First, the vocational level standard scores and neuropsychological factor scores are higher in adults with PDD than MR. Second, In adults with MR and PDD, intelligence quotient(IQ) was significantly correlated with neuropsychological factor scores and vocational level standard scores in MDS. Third, In vocational level standard scores of MDS in adults with MR, VSC factor was the most significant variable and the second most significant one was sensory factor. The least significant variable was motor factor. VSC factor was the most significant variable of vocational level standard scores in MDS in adults with PDD. The above results there were significant differences in vocational level standard scores of MDS in adults with MR and PDD, and different variables that have influences on vocational level standard scores. Therefore, we have to consider those significant variables of vocational level standard scores in MDS for the intervention of adults with MR and PDD vocational rehabilitation services.
