Some career tests are freely available on the internet. They take 15 or 20 minutes to complete and you get a simplistic computer-generated report. To be honest, they are worthless. Our career tests, on the other hand, take 5 hours to complete. They are incredibly thorough and the results are analysed by a fully qualified Occupational Psychologist. If you really want to figure out what is the right career for you, come to us. We are the specialists. We’ve been doing this since 1965 and we are on the third generation of families coming to us now.
Career tests are also known as psychometric tests. The word Psychometric comes from the Greek psycho- ‘of the mind’ and metric meaning ‘measuring’. The psychometric tests we use are scientifically engineered and validated multiple choice questionnaires. They are designed to help our careers advisors understand who you are, so we can provide tailored careers advice for YOU. The psychometrics ask questions about your interests, feelings and preferences. Additionally, they measure your reasoning abilities (verbal, numerical, abstract, mechanical etc.). From the results, we gather a great deal of information about who you really are and, therefore, what career is right for you. We developed this process 60 years ago. It still works today!
