Adult Career Concerns Inventory.
ACCI
Adult career-stage concerns aligned with Super's developmental stages: Exploration, Establishment, Maintenance, and Disengagement (each with three task subscales). Measures salience of vocational-development tasks and career-change status, supporting maxi-/mini-cycle recycling.
- Length and format

- Language versions
- Several international adaptations in career-development research

The rights holder controls how this one may be used, so the route to it runs through the publisher or the author. The source link below is the starting point, and for some in this class it is also where the instrument itself is available.
Licence classification is a research judgement by the catalogue’s authors, not legal advice, and it can be out of date. Confirm terms with the copyright holder or publisher before using an instrument, especially for commercial use.
