vocational counselling, Self Directed Search („Holland“ test)Abstract
The paper discusses the cultural adaptation of the Self-Directed-Search Questionnaire (SDS – Holland’s test)
in Romania, describing the translation and adaptation process, the structure of the Romanian normative sample
and the psychometric characteristics of the Romanian version of the measure. The paper alse addresses aspects
like the reliability of the measure – both as internal consistency and test-retest – as well as comparisons with the
U.S. normative sample. Some of the positive implications of using the SDS for vocational counselling, derived
from its psychometric power, are pointed out.
