The purpose of the present study was to develop an indigenous and psychometrically sound instrument for objectively measuring the job knowledge of Pakistani students at high school level. From a study on a group of 240 students of grades eight to ten, a 46-item test, namely Job Knowledge Test (JKT) was developed. The internal consistency reliability was .84, while the evidence for validity was substantial. The significant gender differences were also found on JKT (p<.000). The girls of all grades scored high as compared to boys.
