Adlerian personality profile in relation to career adaptability

This study investigated career adaptability (CA) from an Adlerian perspective. Accordingly, Adlerian lifestyle and perfectionism were examined with CA using cluster analysis. The results supported three groups of personality orientation. The assertive perfectionist group reported the highest scores for all CA domains, the sensitive perfectionist group reported the lowest scores for career collaboration on the CA scale, and the comfort nonperfectionist group reported the lowest score for career concern on the CA scale. The study results assist clients in identifying personality and career themes and enhance career resources through the Adlerian approach with career construction theory.
