Profiling

Definition

The process of collecting information about a person to form a profile that describes him/her. This may involve collecting a standard set of information, possibly to compare people, or the construction of a one-off description of a person.
A similar approach is also commonly used to profile jobs or occupations and a job or occupational profile may be included in a career information system to make it easier to make comparisons between jobs and occupations.

Comment

Both the profiling of people and the profiling of jobs/occupations are common activities in guidance.
