Helping people explore areas of work that make the best use of their interests, values and motivations.  Aimed at young people (14-19 years) this uses words and pictures to structure interests around Hollands Career Themes.

Interests are the most natural starting point when exploring the world of work. When we first start to ask ourselves ‘what do I want to do?’, our answers reveal what we see as being exciting, challenging and fun – in short, what we are interested in. Based on John Holland’s widely used model of vocational preferences, the CII explores interests, competencies and work styles to provide a multi-faceted tool for supporting career exploration.

Based on the model of Psychological Type and dividing preferences into the Activator, Innovator, Clarifier and Explorer.The Profiling for Success Learning Styles Indicator provides an effective tool to identify an individual's preferred learning style.  Reports encourage learners to reflect on their preferred style and consider how they can remain effective learners in environments that do not match their preferences.  Tutors can use the information to tailor their courses to ensure maximum learning and student retention.

A full Type Indicator with innovative features challenges a person to explore their view of themselves, their underlying needs and the direction for personal development.

Personality

Our personality influences how we do things – interact with others, plan our work, use our leisure time and tackle problems to name but a few.  Because of its wide-ranging effects, understanding personality is central to our self-awareness and development.

We are unique individuals because of our personality.  Some people do not like the idea of ‘measuring’ personality because they believe every person is unique, but so do most psychologists who develop personality assessments!  Try asking yourself these questions:

• Do you think of yourself as unique?
• Do you share some characteristics with other people you know?

Values define a person;   they form a crucial part of their sense of
Identity and give insight into their fundamental motivations

Why are Values and Motivation important? Ask people why they do what they do; ask them why they put in enormous effort far beyond the call of duty; ask them what they would be willing to stand up for. The answer lies in their fundamental values. Values are the key to understanding people's energy and motivation. Explore people's values and you can unlock the "what, where, when and why" of people's actions.
