Career Assessments

Turning Theory into Reality

Vocational Guidance

Career navigation is one of the most crucial tasks that parents tend to take upon themselves while bringing up their children. Having certain assessments taken helps determine the abilities and interests of the child. Many times, children are steered to a certain career path depending on various reasons thought to be right for their child at that particular time. But anyone will agree that a child taking a vocation that reinforces his/her aptitude and personality is bound to find success sooner than others who don’t.

This argument can be easily established from the various cases we come across these days where people have changed their careers after working for a long time stating they were not ‘cut out for that job’ or there are other cases when people never tend to be happy in their careers, always longing to do something else, but unable to make the shift, because they do not have sufficient reasons supporting their decision.

That is why psychometric assessments and counselling become ideal for not just students before taking the career paths but also adults before altering their career map.

Psychometric Assessments

The Oxford definition of Psychometrics is “the science of measuring mental capacities and processes.” Therefore Psychometric test for career related assessments include scientific instruments used to attain an estimate of an individual’s intellectual capabilities and essential nature. Paper–Pencil forms of tests are the most preferred method of administering psychometric tests and now with the changes taking place we have offered the test online as well. The tests are administered and scored in a standardised manner after confirming the reliability and validity of the tests.

The Following tests are administered depending on the age group and requirement of the individual:

Aptitude Test

Aptitude Tests are the ability tests which bring out the individual’s mental capabilities depicted in the individual’s abstract reasoning, verbal reasoning, spacial reasoning, mechanical reasoning and numerical abilities.

This test will help experts assess in suggesting the right career path for students based on their skills. It’s an unbiased test assessing a student on their Interest, Personality and Ability which will help them to select the right field and succeed in their careers.

The test assumes abilities, weaknesses and natural tendency towards success or failure in certain parts of the test which are based on their intrinsic characteristics and helps us cover a broad spectrum. It also assumes that special abilities of people differ and these differences can be useful in predicting future achievements.
