From each major, 6 to 8 postgraduate students voluntarily answered the research instrument.The results of two majors – physics and law are presented in this study.Findings: According to the findings, the major of physics in the model of eight basic interest types, was characterized by three areas, including: Nature-Outdoors, Mechanical, and Data Processing. In Prediger's two-dimensional model, this field of study was located in Things/Ideas quarter. The law profile in the eight basic interest types model, included:, Managing, Business Detail, and Helping. In two-
dimensional model law was located in People/Datsa quarter. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that students volunteered for the majors of physics and law should have high interests in the nature/outdoors , Mechanical areas and students volunteered for the major of law should have high interests Managing and Business Detail,On the other hand, the high prestige of these two fields reveals that the volunteer students of these fields can expect that the patterns of social valuation and having good social image requirements to be answered in these two fields of study
