had taken similar ones before. He also liked that it had the selfassessment on skills as opposed to personality, as well as the items on
the assessment that would interest you, etc. He felt as if it really evaluated
a well rounded skill set along with personality traits that would best match
with certain careers or job potentials. After reviewing the report he was
excited to see that his SDS report matched up with his current career!
10. What insights did you gain, or what previous knowledge was reinforced, by your
administering of the SDS with your client? By insights or previous knowledge, I
mean that related to what youve learned in CNS 736 Appraisal for Counseling.
a. By administering the assessment to another individual, I was able to see
that sometimes others react to assessments in a much different way than I
do. I think I was able to feel some empathy for my husband because he
seemed genuinely concerned with what this assessment was measuring
and he seemed to be a little bit nervous about it. I think once he started
getting more into the assessment, he felt more comfortable, asked me a
few more questions and proceeded with ease. However, it really struck me
to remember to practice my care and empathy when administering to
potential clients because and assessment can be a nerve-racking activity
for some!
11. What did you learn about the SDS? What was one strength you perceived this
instrument to have? What was one limitation you perceived this instrument to
have?
a. I learned that the SDS has some great insight into an individuals skill set,
preferred job, ideal job, and potential career matches. I think this test
subtly blends personality traits and job skill sets into a neat package that
actually reflects the individual. This assessment is very clear and simple
which is a big strength for the SDS. My husband did mention that it felt a
bit redundant at times which is a potential limitation to this instrument.
