The purpose of this study was to establish an assessment model and develop an career inventory for junior high school students as well as college-bond senior high school and vocational senior high school students. Based on results of literature review and semi-structural interviews of 30 students, an assessment model with three dimensions and six subscales was established, which served as the theoretical foundation for the inventory.
The “Career Development Inventory-Pretest Form" was constructed .Two pretests took place with the sample of 853 and 1031 students, respectively. Itemanalyses of these two sets  of data resulted in the "Career Development Inventory" (CDI). CDI has two forms, one for junior high school student and the other for senior high school students.
The norm of this inventory was established with 2921 students. Reliability and validity were examined with intemal consistence, stability, criterion-related validity, subscale correlation, and factor structure. The results revealed sufficient support for the inventory in general and partial support for two subscales, which indicted the need for further examination.
