Answer to Question 1

1 . The intake interview is used to learn as much about a client as possible through responses to questions and written answers to questions on an interview information form. Past experiences are valuable sources of information.
2 . All career counseling models use some form of standardized assessment, especially the measurement of individual traits such as aptitude, educational achievement, interests, values, and personality characteristics. The diagnostic process is usually very thorough.
