Seventy‐three counselors and 72 manpower specialists in Wisconsin were surveyed to ascertain the perceptions both groups had regarding actual and ideal counselor function. A cross‐break analysis to determine if responses varied according to years in the employment service, office size, and educational background produced no differences. Counselors and manpower specialists were in close agreement. (Rho .96) in ranking the time assigned to 12 functions by the counselor and were closely agreed (Rho .94) in ranking how counselors should spend their time. Other similarities and differences were presented followed by a discussion of the implications these findings have for in‐service training.
