Abstract

The development and use of the Salience Inventory (SI; Super & Nevill, 1985a), an assessment of the relative importance of five life roles, is summarized. This article begins with an overview of Donald E. Super's career development theory, followed by a brief description of the goals of the work Importance Study (WIS) and its development of the SI. A review of research using the SI follows, with emphasis on the utility of the SI in incorporating gender role and multicultural issues into an understanding of career development across the life span. Finally, use of the SI within a comprehensive career counseling model is discussed.
