Abstract Dispositions have been identified as critical elements of counselor development and competency. Although there is currently no professional agreement regarding the definition or structure of counselor dispositions, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP 2016) accreditation standards require counselor educators to assess students’ professional dispositions. We endorse the need for a disposition measure that yields reliable and valid scores for use in admissions and gatekeeping processes. We present results of a confirmatory factor analysis of the Professional Dispositions Scale–Counseling Student Version (PDS–CSV), which revealed that counselor dispositions are best understood as a single higher order factor made up of 9 subfactors addressing personal and professional considerations. Based on these findings, we propose a definition of counselor dispositions for consideration by professional colleagues.

顾问配置的拟议定义和结构

摘要 性格已被确定为辅导员发展和能力的关键要素。虽然目前没有关于辅导员性格的定义或结构的专业协议，但咨询和相关教育计划认证委员会 (CACREP 2016) 认证标准要求辅导员教育工作者评估学生的专业性格。我们赞同需要一种处置措施，以产生可靠和有效的分数，用于录取和把关流程。我们展示了专业倾向量表 - 咨询学生版 (PDS-CSV) 的验证性因素分析结果，该结果表明，最好将辅导员倾向理解为由 9 个解决个人和专业考虑的子因素组成的单一高阶因素。
