have more
difficulties reaching their goals, in spite of their
academic potential |
|
| |
Prospero is
an online survey designed to help students identify
their personal learning and study styles in order
to increase grades and to meet their academic
potential. The report includes many ideas to study

InterQuest/EuroQuest
- psychometric
testing |
|
 |
| |
Students
who have a greater sense of direction are more determined
to do
well in school |
|
| |
Step One, in
association with Cambridge Occupational Analysts,
has devised a highly
validated psychometric assessment. Simple to use,
yet outstandingly informative and
reliable, this programme is an excellent tool
for students who are in the process of
making well-considered subject choices with respect
to their future.
InterQuest and its European version EuroQuest
clearly identify students’ academic
strengths and potential and increase their awareness
of a range of different college or
university approaches and various vocational paths.
The report will encourage students to challenge
themselves, to identify targets and to
make an action plan in order to become successful
at school and in life.
In addition, the test will give insights in students’
test techniques and important personal
preferences.
Confidence in
a realistic future is a reassurance for everybody |

MindWise
- emotional intelligence |
|
 |
| |
Students
who experience emotional difficulties perform less
well than
students who have a good level of emotional intelligence |
|
| |
Many people
with high ability and aptitude levels sometimes
do not perform as well as
they could, due to an aspect of their personal
attitude or emotional intelligence.
MindWise is an online survey that will help students
to understand themselves and to
work on areas that require attention in order
to cope better with life in general.
Students with
a good level of emotional intelligence are more
receptive to learn |

make well-considered choices |
|

Spotlight
- matching
career options with personality |
|
 |
| |
Identifying
strengths, work environment, motivators and stressors
is
invaluable when deciding on career choices |
|
| |
Towards the
end of school, a student’s personality will
appear even more clearly because
in general the influence of other people will
have less impact.
Many people have no idea what kind of career would
suit them and therefore they want
to have a better insight in themselves before
making important decisions.
This colour-profiling questionnaire will explain
what kind of work would inspire them.
Spotlight further reveals how somebody would function
in a work environment and fit
in a team.
People whose
personality matches their job, experience substantial
satisfaction |

Morrisby
- psychometric profile |
|
|
| |
What
career would I be good at? What
would I enjoy ? |
|
| |
A large number
of Careers Guidance Services and Companies and
hundreds of schools use the Morrisby Profile as
an important part of their student and adult guidance
programmes.
The
system is a combination of a specially designed
Questionnaire about your interests, the exams
you are taking or have taken, and the Morrisby
Profile. The Morrisby Profile is a series of tests
or assessments (sometimes called a Test Battery)
which together provide valuable information on
your abilities and the sort of work setting that
would suit you best. |

Pioneer
- interest
questionnaire |
|
 |
| |
Selecting
your subjects can already affect your future university
course choices |
|
| |
Students who
do not know which subjects to select to support
potential future choices can undertake this interest
questionnaire online as of 2009. The results will
give them direction with respect to future interests.
Students who
are aware of their interests will not close any
doors too early.
