    Answer: Political party affiliation

    Title VII covers race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, but not political affiliation.

  3. A career counselor assumes a Muslim client will not want to work in a mixed-gender setting without asking. This is primarily an example of:

    Assuming every group member shares the same values ignores the large variation within groups.

  4. In Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's value orientation model, the dominant U.S. middle-class orientation toward time is generally described as:

    Answer: Future-oriented

    Mainstream U.S. culture tends to be future-oriented, valuing planning and delayed gratification, which shows up in traditional career planning.

  5. Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) helps explain multicultural career gaps mainly through which concept?

    Answer: Contextual barriers and supports that affect how interests become goals and actions

    SCCT shows how contextual barriers such as discrimination and supports such as mentoring shape self-efficacy, goals, and choice actions.

  6. A licensed engineer from abroad cannot find professional work in the U.S. because their credentials are not recognized. What is the MOST appropriate counselor intervention?

    Credential evaluation, bridging programs, and advocacy address the real structural barrier of underemployment among skilled immigrants.

  7. A gay client asks whether to disclose their sexual orientation during job interviews. The MOST ethical counselor approach is to:

    Answer: Explore the client's values, workplace climate, and legal protections so they can make an informed choice

    Respecting client autonomy means helping them weigh safety, protections such as Bostock v. Clayton County, and personal values without imposing a decision.
