The term “multipotentiality” has appeared in the literature over 100 times in the past 35 years. The term has, however, been used in slightly different ways by different authors. This lack of consistency became evident to the present authors, who then set out to analyze the concepts surrounding use of the term multipotentiality in the literature. It has become clear that multipotentiality refers only to multiple abilities. Career decision-making problems accompany multipotentiality only when interests, motivations, and opportunities are also abundant. In this case, when motivation to learn is high, an “overchoice syndrome” can be said to exist
