What exactly is the Tarit & Factor theory?
- E. G. Williamson (1900-1979) developed what is considered to be the first comprehensive theory of counseling (as distinguished from Freud's theory of psychoanalysis). Known as trait and factor theory, or the Minnesota Point of View for the the University of Minnesota where Williamson was on faculty, Williamson's approach initially grew out of the ideas of Frank Parsons.
- Parsons' theory. Frank Parsons and E.G. Williamson developed the idea of matching careers to talents, skills and personality. Frank Parsons and E.G. Williamson are regarded as the founder of the vocational guidance movement. They developed the talent-matching approach, which was later developed into the Trait and Factor Theory of Occupational Choice.
