- contribute to elaborating personal and professional projects;
- help identify the reasons of professional dissatisfaction;
- determine the causes for low self-motivation and role conflict (e.g. between
profession and family); - values clarification techniques are perceived as less threatening than
traditional methods (standardized tests); - clients answer and get involved spontaneously in values clarification
exercises.
Disadvantages:
- informal values clarification instruments do not always provide relevant
information; - identifying with the help of the counsellor some correlation between the
client’s values, interests, and aptitudes and the requirements of certain
professions takes much work and time.
