The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of guidance counselors, rehabilitation counselors, and social workers accurately to distinguish low-, medium-, and high-functioning helpers when the helpers were identified as being from the participants' own or the other two professions. One hundred eight graduate students, 36 from each of the three disciplines, were asked to rate a standard series of 28 interaction sets on total level of functioning. These interaction sets differed only in helper identity and level of functioning. A three-way analysis of variance was conducted, the variables being professional identity- of the rater, professional identity of the helper, and helper's level of functioning. Results showed that significant main effects were accounted for by helper's level of functioning rather than helper's professional identity. Implications for training and supervision of students are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research
