The offer of education and professions has enormously increased in the last years, just as the responsibility for the right decision. Many youngsters don’t see the wood for the trees and look for help in the form of accompaniment in choosing studies. Personal Talent Explorer helps youngsters in the choice of their education or profession by making their intrinsic motivation insightful- in other words, what they naturally like. This sounds simple, but just because of the enormous quantity of impulses and by the increased choice of possibilities making the good choice still appears to be more difficult.

After the test, I wondered what and how much personal information would come to light. The questions are structured in Personal Talent Explorer so that it is impossible to influence the results. At the evaluation, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of accurate information that emerged. My personal report principally highlighted my strengths and talents. My talents are well suited to my current fields of study (Law and Business Studies). I think everyone at secondary school should do this test because it’s impossible to choose a career for the rest of your life given that there are so many options. At Personal Talent Explorer, they look at what you are good at and you’re encouraged to do what you like doing. Ultimately, I also think that’s the most important thing.Ido
