Life Values Inventory (LVI): Portuguese Adaptation Studies
Keywords:
life values inventory, adaption, values assessmentAbstract
Studies here presented were carried out with the Life Values Inventory (LVI), a relatively new instrument created by Crace and Brown (1996). It focuses on values assessment, a crucial psychological dimension in vocational development. Following a literature review about values and their use in career counselling, the Portuguese adaptation of the LVI is presented. Some results concerning psychometric properties are also discussed.
