Campbell and Fiske's (1959) multi‐trait, multi‐method analysis was applied to three popular measures of career development. College students completed the Attitude Scale of the Career Maturity Inventory (Crites, 1978a), the Vocational Preference Inventory (Holland, 1978), and the Decision‐Making Scale of the Career Development Inventory (Super, Thompson, Lindeman, Jordaan, & Myers, 1981). Participants also took part in a structured interview to assess their career development. The table of multi‐trait, multi‐method correlation coefficients for the three measures of career development supported their construct validity. Implications and ideas for future research are discussed.
