Ego-delay and vocational behavior.
Two hypotheses derived from ego analytic vocational theory were tested using neuropsychiatric patients referred for vocational rehabilitation procedures. Subjects who obtained higher ego-delay scores derived from a time estimation technique were found to obtain higher vocational aptitude scores and higher levels of vocational readjustment following disability. Issues for counseling and further research are discussed.
