生涯定位是個人自我概念中，其所欲實現的需求、動機與價值統整的總合體，其 內涵除融合傳統的工作價值觀或工作動機外，再加上自我知覺的能力，揉和外在生涯與內在 生涯種種的考慮，綜合統整所構成的生涯自我觀，在發展過程中，會引導並限制一個人未來 的生涯抉擇。 　　本研究採取資料蒐集、訪談等方式，設計生涯定位量表，藉以評量高中生之生涯定位情 形。量表編製過程依一般心理測驗編製原則，經生涯訪談、題目編擬、量表預試、題目分析 等階段，編定正式題本，含68題四點量表型式之題目。以最大變異因素分析法取得八個因素 (佔總變異43.5%)，分別為專業、諧和、領導管理、自主、人際關係、地位聲望、挑戰、及 自我實現。量表內部一致性係數在.584--.904之間，間隔三至五週之重測信度在.568--.865 之間；另與興趣量表及人格測驗得分之間顯示有意義之關連。本研究亦建立高一學一之常模， 可供高中資優學生生涯輔導使用。

　　　　　The concept of career anchor integrates a person's values, motives, talents, and other psychological properties that represents one's real self for which the person will not give up in their life. It is a person's self-image of what he or she excels in, wants, and values. The Career Orientation Inventory was developed, based on Schein's career anchor model, to investigate senior high school students' self-image in terms of career orientation. A 90-item inventory was constructed based on literature review and interview data. The items were written in the four-point Likert's format. Two hundred and forty-nine students from five senior high schools in Taiwan were selected as pretest samples. Results of item analyses were examined and finalized in a 68-item inventory. An exploratory factor analysis with oblimin rotation method obtained eight factors that accounted for 43.5% of the variance, namely as technical/professional function, security/stability, leadership/management, autonomy/independence, interpersonal relationship, status/prestige, pure challenge, and self-actualization. Preliminary study on the inventory's reliabilities showed the test-retest correlation coefficients ranged from .57 to .86 with the median of .75. The Cronbach alpha coefficients ranged from .58 to .90 with the median of .72. Concurrent validity coefficients showed positive results which indicated support for the inventory's validity.
