The Response Maze: A Training and Evaluation Tool or Porteus' Complaint

An adaptation of the “Action Maze”—a problem situation requiring manager trainees to choose between alternative courses of action, each of which leads to a new situation with new alternatives—is proposed for training counselors. Advantages and limitations of this adaptation, entitled the “Response Maze,” are enumerated, possible other uses of the technique are considered, suggestions for constructing such a maze are offered, and a sample Response Maze for readers is included.
