Psychometric Assessments, Career Options, School Subjects

 

My practice offers a range of psychometric assessment services.

The aim of assessments is to assist in the collection and integration of a wide range of information about an individual, in order to provide valuable insight, support and recommendations for a range of challenges.

These challenges include scholastic difficulties, school subject choice decisions, career choice decisions, and career planning and development.

All assessments include an intake interview, the administration of appropriate assessment measures, and a feedback session with a written report.

For further information, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.

School Readiness Assessments

This assessment evaluates a child’s level of development to determine whether the child is equipped with the skills necessary to meet the educational, social and emotional demands of formal schooling. The school readiness battery assesses a child’s physical, sensory & motor development, cognitive development, and social and emotional development.

Educational Assessments

An educational assessment aims at evaluating a child’s cognitive, social and emotional functioning. This assists in determining a child’s strengths and areas of development, and difficulties that a child may be experiencing. This assessment is recommended for children/adolescents who are not coping at school, who are performing poorly or not making progress, and children who are displaying poor motivation, refusing to go to school and showing other signs of emotional or behavioural distress.

Subject Choice Assessments

Subject choice assessments are aimed at assisting Grade 8 learners select appropriate school subjects for Grade 9-12. As subject choice at this level impacts on future study options & career choice, this assessment provides valuable insight and information in order to guide informed subject selections. The assessment includes aptitude, personality and interest questionnaires.

Vocational / Career Assessments

Career assessments are suited to:

  • School leavers who require assistance in making study or career decisions;
  • Graduates planning a career;
  • Individuals considering a change in career or return to studies.

The assessment battery measures cognitive ability, personality attributes, values and interests. The integration of the results assists the individual to make an informed decision with regards to various study or career options.
