Abstract
Contemporary career research emphasises the need for career counselling practices that will assist individuals in
shifting from linear career preferences to non-linear career patterns. ACareer counselling framework that facilitates
self-insight in personal motives and personality preferences seems to enable individuals to develop the inner
sense of direction and identity required to view newcareer patterns as challenges for personal growth.The aim of
this study was to examine the relationship between career patterns and personality types in an attempt to contribute
to the development of such a career counselling framework.The trends in the literature survey o¡ered support,
whilst the results of the empiral studywere less supportive.Recommendations aremade on the basis of these
¢ndings.
