Counsellor prep sheet
This is a self-assessment record prepared for a counselling session. It is not a diagnostic instrument and is not validated for any decision.
For calibration: interest instruments hit around 50% overall and about 40% predictively; career-choice interventions as a whole produce d ≈ 0.35. The largest measured ingredient is counsellor support (d = 0.825) — this document is an input to that conversation, not a substitute for it.
Values hierarchy (centred within person)
Work-values ranking (ipsative)
Ipsative sort: an ordering inside this person alone, not comparable to anyone else.
Critical incidents
Abilities self-rating
Self-rating, not a measured ability.
Experience sampling
Real-world tests
Fit shortlist (two axes, kept separate)
Highest correlation on axis 1. A high correlation is not a prediction and this is not a recommendation.
Hypotheses and outcomes
Questions to discuss
Untested and refuted claims, worth asking about in session.
