This article discusses the development, field test, and uses of the counseling‐orientation scale (COS), a scale for assessing relative preferences for seven major counseling orientations. The procedures used to develop and validate the COS are presented. The COS field test and technical information such as reliability and normative data are then described. Finally, the field test results and uses of the COS are discussed.
