Career Testing with Feedback Counseling

PhilPsyCor conducts Career Testing with Feedback Counseling service. Career testing involves assessment of personality, interests and professional aptitudes.

This technique is based on the premise that if individuals pursue a course that they find interesting, and if they work in an environment that is compatible with their personal characteristics, they will likely be more satisfied, driven and more productive.

Our Career Report and Feedback Counseling explores the following areas:

• Preferences, interests, unique gifts and work style of the individual;

• Work environments and tasks that he would find satisfying;

• Specific occupations that offer good possibilities for exploration (including a description of the tasks and skills involved in each occupation);

• Strategies for career development; and

• Tactics for using personality preferences to stay motivated during the career exploration process.

More In-depth, Specialized Testing Service

Ordinarily, our test battery covers general mental ability, applicable aptitudes, and personality adjustment with particular focus on work attitudes and interpersonal skills. However, owing to the sensitive nature of the some jobs (i.e. positions that entail working abroad), we recommend that applicants be given more in-depth testing.

This would allow us to have a more reliable basis for assessing their emotional functioning, which is deemed critical to the special nature of their jobs. Thus, in addition to the usual intelligence and personality battery of tests, we will be including projective techniques, aimed at uncovering latent tendencies, internal conflicts, and the capacity to handle stressful situations, among other things. Especially for those who will likely handle special assignments like taking care of children and elders, propensities towards aggression and attitudes toward authority figures will also be tapped.

Testing is further supplemented with individual interviews.
