Since diagnosis or standard psychological tests are poor predictors of successful vocational rehabilitation of emotionally disabled individuals, it is suggested that information regarding aptitudes and the individual's self‐perceptions be included in the process of assessing employability. Minimum aptitudes for selected occupations in 19 worker trait groups are cited from the GATB manual as a starting point in considering occupations with the restricted mental health population often referred for services. Important self‐perceptions in assessing employability with this group include locus of control, realistic appraisal of limitations, values relevant to vocational choices, and self‐conceptualization of skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
