APTITUDE TEST AND CAREER COUNSELLING
We provide individual counseling along with psychological testing to students across the spectrum (X, XII, graduation & so on).
Psychological Testing & Career Counselling Kyun Karvaiyan?(Why?)
-
Number of new age careers are now available
|
Cost of wrong choice is high e.g. Suppose a person who taken PCM in XI takes coaching for engineering, then Rs. 1 lakh is ‘gone with the wind’ if his abilities do not match. Testing & counseling can prevent this.
|
Testing is standardized (it is not a questionnaire) prepared by expert psychologists.
|
Counselling is undertaken with an experience person who interacts with thousands of students, every year.

STREAM SELECTION & CAREER CHOICE COUNSELLING
The Psychological Tests are as follows:
Interest Test: This is a paired comparison test to judge an individual’s interest profile.
Aptitude (Ability Test): These are time-based test which test an individual on various abilities like - Verbal Ability, Numerical Ability, Closure Ability, Spatial Ability, Reasoning Ability, Mechanical Ability, Psycho-Motor Ability & Clerical Ability.
Personality Test: Each individual is different and this test helps the counselor in understanding the student’s personality on the following parameters.
Adaptability, Academic Achievement, Boldness, Competitiveness, Creativity, Enthusiasm, Excitability, General Ability, Guilt Proneness, Individualism, Innovation, Leadership, Maturity, Mental Health, Morality, Self Control, Sensitivity, Self Sufficiency, Social Warmth & Tension.
A combination of these above mentioned tests results + structured Interview lets the counselor suggest careers suited for an individual.
Duration : Typically 3 hours
A career handbook is also given with this session.
STUDY EFFECTIVENESS COUNSELLING
Studying is not difficult. But, a number of students who are intelligent also are not able to do well in studies because they don’t understand how to study.
The parameters which influence how a student performs in studies are :
- Concentration
- Goal Orientation
- Interaction
- Drilling (Repeat & Memorise)
- Note- taking (Recording)
- Reference Material usage
We conduct a test called SHI (Study Habit Inventory) which lets us understand a student on the above mentioned parameters & thereafter counseling is undertaken.
Note: - All “Psychological Tests” used by us are standardized tests.
