What Is It?
A total of 71 instruments in 55 reviews
comprise the heart of this fifth edition.
These instruments are divided into five
categories to facilitate location and
selection of appropriate instruments by
counselors, career development
professionals, assessment specialists,
and counselor educators. These
categories are; aptitude/achievement
and comprehensive or combined
measures, interest and work values
inventories, career
development/maturity measures,
personality assessments and special
populations. Each review begins with
publisher-provided information followed
by a brief critical review of the
instrument's strengths and limitations.
