APGA stands for which organization?

• A. American Personnel and Guidance Association
• B. American Psychology and Guidance Association
• C. American Personnel and Guidance Agency
• D. American People and Guidance Association

Answer: (A)

APGA stands for American Personnel and Guidance Association. This naming reflects the early identity of the profession, emphasizing the roles of personnel work and guidance within educational and organizational settings. Over time, the organization evolved into what is now known as the American Counseling Association, continuing to serve as the main national body for professional counselors. The other options mix in psychology, misuse “Agency,” or replace “Personnel” with “People,” none of which match the established name of the organization.
