Adequacy of Professional Self-Determination Test

Professional Self-Determination Adequacy Scale Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to assess perceived adequacy of vocational self-determination and comfort with one’s professional role. The Professional Self-Determination Adequacy Scale includes 9 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete.

Items ask respondents to rate statements about confidence in occupational choice and perceived fit, which can inform discussions about role adjustment and work-related strain. In applied settings, the Professional Self-Determination Adequacy Scale may be used as a screening tool to support career counseling, employee development, and early identification of individuals who may benefit from additional support; it is attributed to John L. Holland.
