ABSTRACT
Assessment has been integral to the work of career counsellors since the profession originated in the early 1900s with the work of Parsons (1909). Since that time, the type of assessment has largely determined the structure of the counselling process and the roles assumed by counsellors and clients. Most of the emphasis on career assessment has focused on quantitative assessment and career counsellors have been slow to move from this traditional position (Brown and Brooks, 1996).
