This study aim to test whether there is any significant differences in term of differentiation level of interest in term of gender and educational levels among Indonesian students. A total of 2,869 participants were involved in this study, including junior high school, senior high school, polytechnic, and university students. The level of differentiation interest was calculated using highest-minus-lowest index formula. While the tools to measured vocational interest was Kompas Minat Indonesia (KMI). The data analysis was conducted within factorial ANOVAs. The results showed that educational level (η²p = .022 to .023) and gender (η²p = .026 to .037) had significant effects on differentiation level of interest. This study also found there a small, yet significant, interactions effect was appeared (η²p = .004 to .005). Female students and students in senior high school showed most differentiated profile compared to the other groups. The findings indicate that differentiation of vocational interest profiles in Indonesian students population varies systematically by gender and educational level.
