Abstract

The importance of research intended to develop, validate and adjust psychological assessment instruments relies on offering appropriated work conditions to professionals in Psychology, specially in Professional Counseling domain wherein psychological instruments aim to identify subject’s characteristics, interests and abilities, promote reflection and consciously fit decisions. In this study, correlations between items of the Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional (EAP) and items of the Self Directed Search (SDS) Activities Scale were examined, in a sample composed by Psychology, Arts and Veterinary students. It was observed that the Holland Typology may be considered na important tool to predict students’ professional activities in their areas, and also, that the EAP appears to be a good instrument to assess interests through professional activities, although further studies are necessary.
