The present intervention outcome study proposed a specific difference in how intervening with the Vocational Card Sort versus the Strong/Strong‐Campbell would be experienced by clients. The study included a participant attribute variable (locus of control for career development) and an outcome variable (career decision‐making self‐efficacy) related to this proposed difference. There were no statistically significant intervention or intervention by participant attribute effects at follow‐up time. Nevertheless, there were statistically significant differences in satisfaction at various points in the administration of the interest interventions. Implications for career counseling and future research are discussed.
