The Career Decision Profile (CDP) is useful in career counseling. The CDP was developed from a three-dimensional model of career decision status (Decidedness, Comfort, and Reasons), and data on the validity and reliability for its six scales are provided. The CDP can be used by counselors to (a) explore clients' career indecision, (b) screen for readiness, (c) determine the appropriate level of career services needed, and (d) evaluate counseling outcomes. We conclude with a description of the results from a survey of counselors who have used the CDP in career counseling.
