Abstract
This paper discusses how a culture-sensitive assessment can be conducted to prepare clients for career counseling. The approach presented is developmental in nature. It considers cognitive and affective variables to arrive at a clear understanding of the client's cultural and gender identity. It is recommended that this assessment be completed first, before the client's interests, abilities, and aptitudes are evaluated to outline possible career directions.Keywords
