Abstract
The emphasis is on instrument development, which is historically the weakest element in guidance research. Traditionally, the psychometric qualities of instruments used in guidance research are not reported, and concerns of validity are passed over lightly. This article addresses itself to this problem by delineating instrument development from the identification of content through the initial validation processes. Procedures for item selection, item validation, and the determination of test validity are discussed.
