Ethical Implications of Career Assessment With Women

Abstract

Ethical assessment practices require practitioners to examine assessments in terms of their appropriateness for male and female clients. This article explores gender differences on career assessments in the areas of individual differences and career choice process with a focus on ethical implications for gender-sensitive career assessments. Although the focus of this discussion is on career assessment with women, the suggestions also apply to male clients. Recommendations for gendersensitive career assessment and interpretation are provided.
