The Career Assessment Diagnostic Inventory: A New Career Indecision Assessment Tool

Abstract

Career decision making is an important aspect of life. At some point, one must decide what type of job to apply for or whether to seek the education required for a specific career. Many individuals struggle with these decisions. However, multidimensional measures of uncertainty are needed in providing guidance to such persons, because it appears that the indecision phenomenon is multi dimensional and not restricted only to a need for career information. The present study evaluated a 98-item multidimensional measure of six career-indecision factors. Based on data provided by 539 college students, scale scores on the Career Assessment Diagnostic Inventory (CADI) had alpha coefficients ranging from .81 to .93 ( M = .89). Factor analysis and convergent validity results were both supportive of a conclusion that CADI scores are valid.
