The Career Development Questionnaire (CDQ)

The Career Development Questionnaire was developed to provide an instrument evaluating the level of career maturity and readiness of adolescents and young adults to make career decisions. Assessment is made in five areas: Self-information, Decision-making, Career information, Integration of self-information with career knowledge, and Career planning.

The CDQ is suitable for individuals of different cultural backgrounds.

Norms
