The purpose of this study is to measure the coefficient value validity of the content and the coefficient reliability of the Client Inventory Needs. The Construction of Client Needs Inventory is based on the Choice Theory and Reality Therapy (CTRT) and was linked to the basic needs of university students. The five basic needs of the CTRT are sub-scales in the Client Needs Inventory which are survival sub scale, love sub scale, power sub scale, freedom sub scale and happiness sub scale. A total of seven expertise were involved in testing the coefficient of validity of the content using the set of Client Needs Inventory format from expert validity questionnaire. The coefficient value of content validity for the entire inventory was 87.1%, and values between 82.8% and 93% were obtained for each sub scale. An actual format questionnaire for Client Inventory which also contains 35 questions were used to test the value of reliability. A total of 40 University Selangor students (Unisel) were involved as the samples of reliability testing Client Needs Inventory. Based on the analysis data, it was found that only 30 items out of 35 were significant and appropriate. Thus, the overall reliability value of the 30 items was alpha .875, and the value of coefficient reliability for each sub scale ranged from .687 to .829 alpha Cronbach. Therefore, the Client Needs Inventory has validity and good reliability and can be managed by the counsellor in conducting counselling sessions to the university students. Thus, the future researchers are encouraged to delve deeper into each item and use other validity and reliability methods for better quality.
