Using a career interest card sort for vocational assessment and counselling
This article describes the background to a direct assessment of interest categories without the use of a questionnaire. It is based on a card-sort procedure that focuses on Outdoor, Practical, Scientific, Creative, Business, Office and People Contact work interests. The rationale for the development of a Career Interest Card Sort is derived from previous research on the validity of self-estimates of vocational interests. Some data are provided on the card sort procedure. Directions and a case study on its use are also outlined.
