A Comprehensive Guide to Career Assessment

NCDA is excited to release the reimagined 7th edition of our influential guide to career assessment. Reconceptualized and renamed to A Comprehensive Guide to Career Assessment, the Guide contains important information that career counselors, educators, and practitioners will find invaluable in learning about career assessment and selecting assessments specific to client needs. The Guide is a resource that connects to multiple service sectors and embraces global perspectives of career assessment.

The book begins with six newly updated chapters that provide foundational knowledge of career assessment. The next section includes more than two dozen peer reviews of assessments. The reviews are separated into four categories that reflect the emerging literature in career assessment: Quantitative, Qualitative, Research, and Open Source. These categories cover the traditional assessment (e.g., interests, values, skills) while encompassing qualitative processes in assessment, research of processes and new instruments, and free open source online resources for practitioners.
