Using the Intelligent Careers Card Sort® With University Students

The authors describe the experiences of university students who completed the Intelligent Careers Card Sort® (ICCS), a career exploration exercise that is based on the Intelligent Career framework. The Intelligent Career suggests that there are 3 ways of knowing, which individuals should consider to successfully navigate the workplace: knowing‐why, knowing‐how, and knowing‐whom. This model is discussed in the context of the subjective career and the changing economy, and research on card sorts is briefly reviewed. In general, students thought that the ICCS was a useful part of the career development groups in which it was administered.
