Multidimensional measures of career indecision have been constructed to aid in the differential diagnosis of career problems. This study examined the relative efficacy of individual scale scores on the Career Factors Inventory (CFI) and two calculations of the Career Deciion Scale (CDS‐A and CDS‐B) in predicting career decidedness and career implementation. Results from separate simultaneous regression analyses indicated that different scales of the CFI and the CDS‐B made unique contributions to the prediction of career decidedness and implementation. On the other hand, only one predominant scale emerged in the CDS‐A regression analyses. Results supported the use of individual subscales to identify antecedents of career indecision.
