Career Occupational Preference System (COPS) Interest Assessments

The COPS Interest Inventory is written at a seventh grade reading level and has norms for both high school and college. Within these groups there are separate norms for males and females.

The COPS-PIC (COPS Picture Inventory) is a non-reading inventory designed for both students and adults to measure their occupational interest areas by allowing examinees to respond to pictures only.

The COPS II is a checklist written at a fourth grade reading level designed to help students in the middle grades, or high school students with low motivation levels, begin the career exploration process.

The COPS-P (COPS Professional level) interest inventory measures occupational interest at the professional level only. The COPS-P contains the same eight major career clusters as the other forms of the COPS but the sub-clusters are different.

The COPS-R is written at a sixth grade reading level, has combined norms for males and females and contains items and norms in a single booklet.

The SPOC (Sistema de Preferencia Ocupacional de Carreras) is the Spanish translation of the COPS Interest Inventory with seperate, Spanish norms in the translated Profile and Guide.
