“…The present results suggest that the GATB Verbal Aptitude scale and the MIQ may be useful in the selection of applicants for graduate study in counseling psychology and that the SVIB-W may be useful with female applicants. The findings for the GATB Verbal Aptitude scale are consistent with those of Jansen et al (1970Jansen et al ( , 1972, who reported a relationship between scores on the Cooperative English Tests and two criteria, overall competence as determined at the end of an evaluation seminar and grades in a counseling practicum.…”

This study compared the scores obtained on the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire, the Strong Vocational Interest Blanks for Men and Women, and the General Aptitude Test Battery by groups of relatively effective and relatively ineffective counselor trainees. The trainees completed the tests prior to their first practicum experience and were evaluated by their practicum supervisors at the end of each of their practica. The subjects were classified as relatively effective (n = 32), relatively ineffective (n = 30), or indeterminant (n = 12) on the basis of their practicum supervisor's evaluations. The scores of the relatively effective ana relatively ineffective trainees were compared using one-way analyses of variance. The data revealed significant differences in the needs, interests, and abilities of the groups. The relevance of these findings for the selection of counselor trainees is discussed.It is widely believed that personal and nonintellective qualities are basic to effective functioning in a counseling relationship (Rogers, 1962;Traux & Carkhuff, 1967;Williamson, 1965). Accordingly, counselor educators have advocated the use of scores on personality and interest tests in lieu of or in addition to Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for predicting success in counselor training. Several investigators (e.g., Heikkinen & Wegner, 1973;Jansen, Robb, & Bonk, 1970Passons & Dey, 1972) have reported a relationship between performance as a counselor and scores on personality tests. The exact nature of the findings, however, has varied from study to study.A literature review revealed no studies in which the relationship between interest test scores and performance in a counseling setting was investigated. Moreover, we found no investigation in which the subjects had been admitted to graduate school without their GRE scores' forming part of the basis for admission. The present research investigated the relationship between aptitude-and interest-test scores and effectiveness in counseling practica.

This five-year review of research on practicum supervision examines research findings and research designs. Research is classified according to the role of the supervisor, the training procedure, and the rating systems. The major focus of research has been on training in the core conditions of facilitative communication. Modeling techniques have been used effectively in practicum, didactic approaches have been more effective than experiential approaches, and audiotape procedures in training were as effective as videotape techniques.

The study was designed to examine the vocational interests of counseling psychology trainees and the concurrent validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) for this group. Subjects were 47 male and 67 female graduate students majoring or minoring in counseling programs at a large midwestern university. In addition, a subgroup of 43 of these students completed a questionnaire assessing satisfaction with their graduate program, interests in various types of coursework, and preferences for future professional employment. Results generally supported the concurrent validity of the SCII in a group of counseling trainees but also indicated differences in the ordering of SCII Holland themes in this group versus psychologists in general. In addition, relationships between certain SCII scores and students' preferences concerning coursework and future employment were found. Implications of the findings for both the training and the employment of counseling psychology trainees are discussed.The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Frank M. Fletcher and W. Bruce Walsh in the collection of the data for this study and of Judy Reuter for preparing the manuscript.
