PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT

The centre conducts psychometric assessment of students to help the students make pragmatic and wise career decisions.

The assesment generally falls into three categories:

·       Interest Inventories

·       Personality Inventories

·       Aptitude Tests

Interest Inventories

These are usually based on the premises that if you have similar interests to people in an occupation who like their job, you will probably like that occupation also. Thus, interest inventories may suggest occupations that the students  have not thought of but  have a good chance of being something

Aptitude Tests

This tool can predict with good odds whether a particular person will be able to be successful in a particular occupation or not. An aptitude test will tell the child if he is likely to do well in a subject. There are also aptitude tests which can predict success or failure in many different occupations.

Personality Inventories

These tools are sometimes used to help children  with career choice by assessing the  personality traits and realistically matching with the chosen career path. One can then  gain the required skills ,once assessed.
