Career Preference Record

Introduction:
Interest is a psychological attribute which indicates an individual’s preference for engaging in
one or more specific activities relative to others. Interest, along with aptitudes and abilities can
help determine the selection of a course of study or occupation. Often, however, decisions are
made through chance influences rather than through self-evaluation and information about a
field of study or of an occupation. Several devices, therefore, have been developed to assist in
the process of self-evaluation.
The present test, Career Preference Record (CPR), is one such instrument to measure interest.
It is a standardised tool to measure career preferences or vocations. It was developed by Vivek
Bhargava and Rajshree Bhargava. In CPR there are ten different fields.
It measures career choices in ten broad areas:
Mass Media and Journalism (MMJ)
Artistic and Designing (AD)
Science and Technology (SCT)
Agriculture (AG)
Commerce and Management (CM)
Medical (M)
Defence (D)
Tourism and Hospitality Industry (TH)
Law and Order (LO)
Education (E)

These ten fields are distributed twice in the Career Preference Record from left to right and top
to bottom along with two options each. Thus, there are a total of 200 options for careers in the
Career Preference Record. And the student chooses the appropriate option.
In their career preferences students can take support of their peers, parents and teachers. By
choosing the right career, a student charges ahead in his/her life and can be successful. An
individual’s career choice acts like a stimulus for a better result in the chosen field. Career
Preference must be flexible and within realistic zones of our life so that we can take effective
decisions to promote a satisfactory life.
