The Career Indecision Profile-65 (CIP-65) is a relatively new measure of career indecision that appears to have promise for use in career counseling and research. We sought to expand the information available to those evaluating the CIP-65 for potential use by assessing its measurement equivalence in college ( N = 529) and noncollege ( N = 472) samples and its scores’ test–retest reliability in a subset of the college–student sample ( n = 107). Six-week test–retest reliability coefficients ranged from .58 (interpersonal conflicts) to .85 (choice/commitment anxiety) for the subscale scores. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the CIP-65’s four-factor structure fit the data well in both the college and noncollege samples. The CIP-65 scores were configurally invariant in the two samples, but we did not find support for metric invariance. We offer explanations for these findings, discuss implications for practice, and present ideas for future research.
