Gottfredson, 1981). A realidade dos empregos escassos e pouco atraentes, com poucas perspectivas de carreira, cria um contraste marcante com essas esperanças elevadas.…”

Abilities are as important as interests in career choice and development. Reviving cognitive assessment in career counseling promises to help counselees better understand their career options and how to enhance their competitiveness for the ones they prefer.
