Abstract	Beginning with a brief summary of the need for practical vocational guidance systems, the author explains his Self Directed Search for Educational and Vocational Planning (SDS), which was developed to provide a cheap, practical, vocational guidance system having a high degree of scientific validty and client effectiveness. The SDS is a self-administered, self-scored and self-interpreted vocational counseling tool which contains an assessment booklet and a classification booklet, both of which are products of a theory of personality types and environmental models. The development of the SDS is summarized. An informed evaluation based on the use of the SDS with 5,000 widely divergent subjects suggests that: (1) 50% of those taking it like it; (2) others are troubled by the results and could use couseling; (3) the SDS is applicable to a wide age range; and (4) the SDS has the desirable characteristics of immediacy, self-direction, completeness, independence, personal development and safeguards. The conclusion suggests some beneficial side-effects of the SDS. (TL)
