Correct Answers

Characteristics of a Profession - Answer There is no universally accepted account of a

character/content - distinctive from practical skills)

2) Any scientific and technological advanced society is particularly dependent upon its
professionals.

3) Professionals have monopoly or quasi-monopoly in the supply of professional
services.

4) Control is effected by insisting that only those who have graduated from a
professional school are allowed to bear the professional title. The professions ensure
standards in professional schools through the establishment of accreditation standards
which regulate the quality of curriculum content.

5) Professionals possess a great deal of autonomy when working within an organization.
Even if they are employed in large organizations, there is considerable latitude given the
professionals in private practice, as possession of specialized knowledge allows for
professional autonomy.

6) Professionals are guided by ethical standards that are usually embedded in a code of
ethics; this is promulgated by professional societies
