According to Sharf (1993), which of the following is NOT a step in the four-step model of career development?

The correct answer highlights a key aspect of the four-step model of career development as described by Sharf. This model focuses on self-assessment and personal exploration rather than understanding the attributes of others. The steps primarily involve individuals learning about their own interests and values, assessing their abilities and personal goals, and receiving guidance that aligns with their individual career paths.

While it is important for individuals to interact with others and consider how their skills align in a work environment, the model emphasizes personal insight and self-discovery. Understanding the interests, abilities, values, and personality of others, while potentially beneficial in a broader context of career development and teamwork, is not a direct step in this specific model. Thus, focusing on personal reflection and assessment is at the core of Sharf’s approach.
