The literature suggests that there is a lack of understanding of the characteristics of effective counselors. Prior studies have investigated the importance of personality characteristics in counseling effectiveness, but the results have been inconclusive. The study aims to address this gap by using the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule to differentiate between effective and ineffective counselors.

Future studies should investigate the long-term effects of the characteristics of effective counselors. Future studies should explore the use of other psychometric measurements in differentiating between effective and ineffective counselors. Future studies should examine the relationship between personality characteristics and counseling effectiveness in different contexts.
