The Reading Free Vocational Inventory is specifically tailored for individuals with cognitive and learning disabilities. This tool is designed to assess the vocational interests and potential of individuals who may struggle with traditional reading assessments or academic evaluations. By focusing on non-reading dependent measures, the inventory allows users to express their vocational preferences and capabilities without the barriers that reading comprehension may pose.

This tool is particularly important in rehabilitation settings, where understanding an individual's strengths and preferences can help in developing appropriate employment strategies. It enables practitioners to support those who might otherwise be overlooked in more standardized assessments, thereby promoting a more inclusive approach to vocational planning.

The other groups mentioned—those with high academic skills, professionals seeking career advancement, and students pursuing further education—are not the primary focus of this inventory, as these individuals typically possess the academic proficiencies that the inventory is designed to circumvent.
