Conclusions
The incorporation of an intermediate level of discrimination increases the usefulness of the feedback and decreases the chances and implications of potential errors
Adding reservations when appropriate is
essential for providing a meaningful feedback and decreasing the chances of misleading conclusions

MBCD Making Better Career Decisions
MBCD is an Internet-based career planning system that is a unique combination of a career-information system a decision-making support system an expert system
Based on the rationale of the PIC model, MBCD is designed to help deliberating individuals make better career decisions

1. Ascertaining Credibility, using validity items and the time required to fill out the questionnaire
2. Estimating Differentiation based on the standard deviation of the 10 difficulty-scale scores
3. Locating the salient, moderate, or negligible difficulties, based on the individual's absolute and relative scale scores
4. Determining the confidence in the feedback and the need to add reservations to it (based on doubtful credibility, partial differentiation, or low informativeness)
The Four Stages of Interpretation

• Examine users' perceptions of MBCD • Examine changes in user’s decision status • Examine perceived benefits • Locate factors that contribute to these variables

Predictive Validity of MBCD (Gati, Gadassi, & Shemesh, 2006)
Design: Comparing the Occupational Choice Satisfaction (OCS) of two groups six years after using MBCD :
those whose present occupation was included in MBCD’s recommended list (44%)
those whose present occupation was not included in MBCD’s recommended list (56%)
Method
Participants 73 out of 123 counseling clients were located after six+ years; 70
agreed to participate in the follow-up: 44 women (64%) and 26 men (36%),aged 23 to 51 (mean = 28.4, SD = 5.03)

Summary of Major Findings
PIC is compatible with people’s intuitive ways of making decisions (Gati & Tikotzki, 1989)
Most users report progress in the career decision-making process (Gati, Kleiman, Saka, & Zakai, 2003) Satisfaction was also reported among those who did not
progress in the process Users are “goal-directed” – the closer they are to making a
decision, the more satisfied they are with MBCD
The list of “recommended” occupations is less influenced by gender stereotypes (Gadassi & Gati, 2008)
