Abstract
Recently some investigators (e.g., Carter & Swanson, 1990; Fouad, 1993; Fouad, Harmon, & Hansen, 1994; Ward & Bingham, 1993) have questioned whether interest inventories may be appropriately used for all clients, or whether gender or race/ethnicity affects the use of interest inventories. This article will discuss use of interest inventories with special groups and will conclude with a discussion of the benefits and cautions of interest inventories in career counseling.Keywords
