FAQs
What is the technical information for the CASI™?
Test structure
- Surveys nine aspects of career or work adaptation: Job Satisfaction, Interpersonal Abuse, Work Involvement, Family Commitment, Skill Development, Risk-Taking Style, Dominant Style, Geographical Barriers, and Career Worries. These scales provide a brief survey of attitudes, barriers, experiences, or strategies that may merit further exploration.
- In addition to the nine CASI scales, a special section on the answer sheet allows clients to check specific areas of concern from a list of 21 potential career obstacles (e.g., health or emotional problems, financial worries, education).
- The CASI can be administered, scored, and profiled in about 35 minutes. The Inventory Booklet contains 130 items. Test-takers mark their answers on the top part of a carbonless answer sheet. The bottom part of the answer sheet contains directions for scoring. Raw scale scores are then transferred to the Interpretive Summary booklet, which provides three score ranges with easy-to-understand interpretation for each scale.
- For a graphic picture of results, test-takers can plot their raw scores on the profile sheet on the last page of the Your Interpretive Summary Booklet.
- The CASI Manual describes the development of the instrument and discusses the typical characteristics of high and low scorers on each of the nine scales. Sixteen individual cases are profiled to illustrate the use of this instrument. Normative data and correlations with other career instruments are also presented. A self-test for test administrators is provided in the Appendix.
