AB - Vocational undecidedness may be conceptualized more productively if treated as a multivariate phenomenon. In this study, 196 students undecided on career options completed a battery of personality questionnaires: State and Trait Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Work, Relationship or Leisure orientation, Locus of Control, Vocational Identity, Perception of Barriers, Need for Information, and Planful, Intuitive, or Dependent Decision-Making Style. Results on 10 of these variables were cluster analyzed to determine subtypes. To determine degrees of differences between the groups, MANOVA was performed on the variables not included in the clustering analysis, suggesting some degree of validity of the process. The emerged types resembled to a large degree those found in an earlier study (Lucas   &   Epperson, 1988). Types and expected relevant behaviors are described.
