In fact, where there is no right decision, it is not possible for knowledge and working hard to reach the success. Western Thrace Turkish students, who have been deprived of counselling services during the training process, have been provided with counselling services through the distance Turkish Teaching Project supported by Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey for the last two years. The aim of this study is to determine the situation by applying a "self-assessment inventory" in order to enable students to evaluate themselves individually and make more accurate decisions in the direction of the new guidance services that Western Thrace Turks can reach recently. A self-assessment inventory of which validity and reliability studies have been conducted, was administered to Turkish high school students living in Gümülcine. The inventory was applied on 94 students has been evaluated and their individual abilities have been determined according to the results obtained. By looking at the frequency values of the application, through this, the students’ aptitudes towards the occupation match to their talent has been determined. As a result, "regular life, creativity, work details" are found to be the highest and "leadership, trade, change, literature, music and fine arts" are the lowest area.
