Inventory for Counseling and Devlopment
The Inventory for Counseling and Development has a fifteen-year developmental history. It has been revised five times and it has five forms the final revision taking place in 1998 which produced Form F. Form A, represented the first attempt to improve the prediction of academic performance through the application of non-intellective personality characteristics, but only modestly successful results were obtained. Form F, the current edition of the inventory for Counseling and Development, is based on the results of iterating the scales and items of Form E, the subsequent removal of a very few items of marginal quality, and the balancing of scales for true-false keying. The normative sample that took Form F was composed primarily, though not entirely, of students from these institutions: University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, Defiance Collage, Monroe Community Collage, Oregon State University, Goddard Collage, and University of Michigan. A large sample of 660 women and 520 men completed the Form F only. It is important to note that according to the publisher, this inventory is no longer in print.
