Gati, Itamar

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v27 n1 p37-55 Aug 1985

Several concepts related to single and multiple score profile(s) common in career counseling are discussed. An alternative measure, based on the similarity between profiles, is proposed as a measure of congruence and coherence. The proposed measure takes into account the structure of interests and the structure of occupations. (Author/BL)
