Parsons' Trait/Factor Theory Represented a 3-Step Approach to Vocational Guidance

Parsons' Trait/Factor theory represented a 3-step approach to vocational guidance, including:

A) Assessing your aptitude, understanding how your aptitude relates to your chosen career, and making a decision regarding whether there is sufficient overlap between the two to continue with that career trajectory
B) Finding your aptitudes, strengths and interests, developing a knowledge of the career choice and conditions for success, and understanding the relationship between the first two steps
C) Learning about the conditions for success in your chosen profession, aligning your strengths with your career choice, and optimizing the conditions for success
D) Identifying your aptitudes, strengths, and interests, researching career choices that are commensurate with these aptitudes, strengths, and interests, and selecting one of the choices that best fits with your profile.
