The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between scores on the CMI Self-Appraisal scale and scores on a measure of accuracy of self-appraisal. A total of III ninth-grade students in a rural public school were administered the Self Appraisal scale of the Career Maturity Inventory, the ACT Career Planning Program, and a new measure of accuracy of self-appraisal. The CMI Self-Appraisal scale was found to correlate significantly with measures of accuracy of self-appraisal and with measures of scholastic aptitude. Scholastic aptitude accounts for four times as much variance in CMI Self-Appraisal scores as it does in accuracy of self-appraisal scores.
