Abstract	This paper outlines selected applications of Kelly's Personal Construct Theory to vocational guidance. The authors elicited personal constructs using the Rep Test (Role Construct Repertory Test) and compared them with Holland's occupational typology. The sample (N = 136, F = 85, M = 51, average age of 21.97) was composed of students of various universities in Lodz, Poland. Two diagnostic methods were used: the Vocational Preference Questionnaire Job-6 and a Rep Test focused on job-related constructs. The authors used multi-dimensional scaling to analyze and visualize the results. The results show that the application of Kelly's Personal Construct Theory to vocational guidance is a valuable approach, which affords results complementary to those obtained with questionnaire-based methods.
