The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II (KTS-II) is a popular online assessment instrument available to those engaging in career exploration on the Internet. The KTS-II yields measures of psychological type, which can be used to identify work environments congruent with one's personality. There is little information available to support the validity of the KTS-II. Concurrent measures of the KTS-II and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator were attained for 203 first- semester college freshmen without declared academic majors. There were strong positive correlations between the concurrent MBTI and KTS-II measures of psychological type. The relevance of these findings for career counselors' use of this online assessment is discussed.

Key Words: Career assessment • Internet • psychological types • concurrent validity • self-assessment
