Do Specific Holland Types Prefer Specific Types of Counseling Approaches? An Exploratory Study
Miller, Mark J.; Springer, Thomas P.; Cowger, Ernest, Jr.
Journal of Employment Counseling, v41 n1 p11 Mar 2004
The authors examined the degree of congruency found in a sample of 61 college students between a preference for a specific counseling orientation, measured using the Counseling Orientation Scale (COS; L. C. Loesch & R. J. McDavis, 1978), and a dominant Holland type, measured using the Self-Directed Search (SDS; J. L. Holland, 1994). Results revealed a moderate degree of congruency between the 2 scores. Implications of the findings for counselors are discussed.
