I found it interesting to see things I already knew about myself – quantified. Also other areas that were off my radar, that I hadn’t considered strengths, were brought to my attention. The testing was valid and it is a good program for career guidance.
Slowly gaining momentum on the coding side of things, a weird thing I’m finding is that as I’m getting more active in coding or getting the new job I can feel other parts of my personality start to wake up too. It’s almost like my whole system is waking up from hibernation if that makes any sense.
I have taken MBTI, Clifton Strengths Finder, DISC and MAPP and none of them come close to comparing to this assessment and experience. The fact that it is objective and really challenges your abilities is the difference maker, so much more accurate and on point. The clarity I have now moving forward is awesome. I can see where I am going and what I need to do to get there.
My results explained a lot about the dissatisfaction that I have felt throughout my career and highlighted the type of work/ hobby that I need to spend time on to satisfy me. It was validating to have some of my natural abilities confirmed- as I was not confident enough in some of them to actively pursue them. Now I can!
As an adult, the programme makes you aware of strengths and areas to improve and use with purpose. Reflection on the report and then the follow up guidance of the counsellor was excellent and clarified with more depth the use of the report.
I was looking for assistance in a career change. What this process has done for me is open my eyes not only to my abilities and skills but also to the possibilities that can follow from them. I was frustrated with a lack of direction and not being able to see any direction. Now i have many to explore. It still seems daunting to wade through these but now there is added excitement.
From personal experience, this skill-based assessment is head and shoulders above Myers-Briggs, DiSC, FARO-B and others that ask you to respond to questions and pick the answer – I really value the many dimensions that it explores, and have found it to be an excellent tool for career planning.
Promotes an understanding of one’s abilities and conversely one’s weaknesses. A positive spin is the overwhelming end result with a holistic view and analysis of results.
The feedback process was amazing, it made everything so clear. I felt like you were my fortune teller, and I wanted you to stay longer and longer to tell me more about myself. I have learned so much.
I was surprised as to the validity of the testing process and how accurate it can portray an individual and their abilities. It certainly has helped to give direction and reassurance that you do have unique abilities and where they can be applied.
