Career Assessment and the Values Scale

Abstract

The Values Scale (VS; Super & Nevill, 1985b) was developed as part of the multinational Work Importance Study (WIS), a project supported by researchers in countries world-wide. The purpose of the WIS was to simultaneously develop career assessment instruments in several languages to facilitate the cross-cultural study of career development. The VS was one of two instruments developed by the WIS, and its purpose is to assess the general values a person seeks to satisfy through various life roles. The VS was designed to provide important information about a client's values for use in the Career Development Assessment and Counseling model (C-DAC; Super, 1983). A client's values are objectives sought in behavior. If these values cannot be satisfied through one particular career role, then the client must consider through what other life roles those values can be satisfied to ensure career satisfaction. The application of the VS to research is also discussed.
