Tests For Guidance
Before deciding what career to choose, you need to know what your true potential really is - not always an easy thing to know!
For example, have you got hidden talents which have not yet come to light? This is where objective psychometric tests can come in; they are designed to find out what people are really like and generate objective information that would be hard to get any other way.
Normally a range or a battery of tests are taken and different questionnaires completed, to give a full picture of your strengths, abilities and motivation. The "relationships" between your test results allow predictions to be made about the sort of environments and work which would suit you best.
Here at the Morrisby Organisation we have designed a series of tests called the Morrisby Profile that has helped thousands of people find a career that matches their abilities and their work interests.
Your Career and the Morrisby Profile
What would I be good at?
What career would I enjoy?
We can help you get answers to these and many other questions about your career options.
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.
How it Works
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.
The tests are not like exams, so there is no pass or fail and there's no need for any special preparation or revision. The test papers are designed to be easily read and most importantly, there are no trick questions.
All the tests are paper and pencil and you won't need a calculator or other equipment. It's a good idea though to remember your glasses if you need them for reading!
Twelve different assessments help build a picture of your personal strengths and abilities. They don't check on what you have learnt but look at your potential - what you could do.
The Morrisby Profile takes just over three hours with a short break in the middle. This may seem a long time but the results will give you a lot of information to help you think about and choose a worthwhile career.
What do I get?
We produce for you a personal and detailed report. Typically 21 pages we illustrate your responses to the Questionnaire and the results of your Morrisby Profile.
We tell you about your abilities and workstyle and then go on to highlight any talents that you may not have had the opportunity to develop.
With this full picture of your talents and interests, we search our database of more than 500 jobs and list the 12 that match your details most closely.
Then what?
You will be invited by your Adviser to discuss your report and follow up the employment suggestions we made and any others you have thought of.
Your report can help you focus on the careers that match your talents and interests and you will find helpful information on each of the areas suggested.
