The Journal of Career Assessment is a respected quarterly scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research and practice in the field of career assessment and vocational psychology. Established in 1993, it serves as a premier outlet for scholarly work that deepens our understanding of how individuals make career decisions and how assessment tools can be used to support effective career counseling and development. The journal publishes methodologically rigorous empirical studies, theoretical articles, reviews, and methodological innovations that explore a broad array of assessment strategies, including tests, rating scales, interviews, surveys, and observational methods.
