    Abstract
    The Counseling Laboratory for the Exploration of Optimal States (CLEOS) is a research through service program that facilitates creativity, flow, and exceptional talents in adolescents. This study investigated sex differences in 549 adolescents, who have come to CLEOS, ranging in age from 13 to 18 years. The study assessed sex differences in terms of vocational interests, personality, and values; using the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI), Personality Research Form (PRF), the Six Factor Personality Questionnaire(SFPQ), the NEO PI-R, the Tellegen Absorption Scale (TAS), and a Values Inventory. Results showed females scored significantly higher than males on grade point average; the VPI scale-Social, the PRF scales-Achievement, Endurance, Harm Avoidance, Nurturance, and Succorance; the NEO PI-R scales-Neuroticism and Openness; and the TAS score. This study found males scored significantly higher than females on the VPI scale-Realistic and the PRF scale Autonomy.
