Join the growing number of universities that are using Profiling for Success, and give your students access to world-class assessments.  Rigorously developed according to industry best practice by Team Focus, a leading firm of business psychologists, each assessment offers a ‘real’ assessment experience and detailed developmental feedback.

Ongoing development and new tools means that you always have the most up-to-date assessments available.

Two ‘packages’ of assessments are available, designed specifically for higher education students; the Reasoning Skills Tests and the Personal Development Package:

Reasoning Skills Tests

The Verbal, Numerical and Abstract Reasoning Skills Tests give insight into core reasoning abilities, providing a platform for students to explore their capabilities and how these can be applied to the world of work.

The Reasoning Skills Tests also offer a valuable opportunity to enhance test taking skills by experiencing professionally developed, strictly timed online assessments, versions of which are used by major employers.  Detailed reports provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of results and prompts for reflection and development.

Personalised Reasoning Skills Test reports include:

• a guide to interpretation;
• normative interpretation based on up-to-date and representative data;
• speed / accuracy analysis and a qualitative interpretation of performance;
• prompts for developing test-taking skills.

 

Personal Development Package

The Personal Development Package consists of the Learning Styles Indicator and the Type Dynamics Indicator:

Learning Styles Indicator (LSI)

Learning is at the heart of both educational and working life.  This powerful tool engages learners to think positively about the learning process and their role in it.  Educators can use it to appreciate the dominant styles in their groups and to develop more effective teaching practices. 

Through an appreciation of learning styles students can:

• recognise the ‘style’ of different learning situations;
• maximise their learning potential by interacting effectively with the learning environment;
• recognise learning environments they may find difficult and develop strategies to deal with these;
• shape their personal learning environments and strategies to make learning most effective;
• appreciate the styles of other learners and understand how these affect areas such as communication and team-working.

Personalised learning styles reports include:

• a guide to interpretation;
• preferred learning environments;
• motivations for learning;
• areas for development.

Type Dynamics Indicator (TDI®)

The TDI® is based on the Jungian model of personality – the most widely used personality model in the world.  By providing insight into the preferences a person has developed, the questionnaire is a driver for identifying strengths, areas for personal growth and potential career direction.  

The TDI® is an engaging tool for increasing self-awareness and provides a starting point to:

• identify areas for personal growth as part of a Personal Development Plan;
• improve interpersonal communications and team working;
• understand leadership and management styles;
• articulate personal competencies for the world of work;
• explore how preferences are related to career choice;
• stretch capabilities by exploring outside of personal type.

 

Personalised Type reports include:

• a focus on career development;
• guide to interpretation;
• career motivations;
• work style;
• working with others;
• leadership style;
• ideas for development.
