The CASVE-CQ is a 42-item measure of career decision-making progress consistent with the CASVE cycle decision-making model of the Cognitive Information Processing Theory (CIP). Two studies are presented that further the CASVE-CQ’s development. Study 1 presents a scoring approach for the measure (study 1; N = 388) in an adult sample contemplating a career change. Study 2 establishes a factor structure and validity evidence in a college student sample (study 2; N = 330). Results support a comprehensive scoring approach for the measure that will be useful in practice and research. The factor structure, previously found in an adult working sample, was supported in a college student sample. This factor structure is consistent with the CIP theoretical nature of the CASVE Cycle. Validity evidence in a college student sample is presented. Future research and limitations are discussed. Strategies and tools for use in practice are also shared
