Behavior-oriented inventories need not be used in a static manner. This article presents a way of using John Holland's Self-Directed Search (SDS) as a n illustration of how such a n inxientory can be employed dynamically within a developmental career counseling framework. Use of the SDS is discussed in terms of environmental exploration, selfexploration, and integration of information. The breadth of individual behavior styles and t h e f i x ibility of work environments are the key concepts in the appoach to career counseling described here.
Effects of self-esteem and values-clarification strategies on value awareness were assessed in a 7-hour values-clarification workshop. Subjects participating in the workshop showed significantly greater gains in value awareness than nonparticipants, confirming that values-clarification strategies are valid means for clarifying personal values of undecided college undergraduates. Low self-esteem subjects acquired gains in value awareness comparable to those of high self-esteem subjects, indicating that valuesclarification strategies are useful for clarifying personal values of both high and low self-esteem individuals.
