Vocational Testing
Vocational, Psychovocational, Neuropsychovocational, and Aptitude Testing all aim to answer similar questions:
”What should I do after high school / military deployment / my year of public service?”
“What should I study when I get to college / trade school?”
“What should I do - or can I still do - in the wake of my injury?”
“Am I in the right career? Could I be happier doing something else in life?”
Reflecting the same highest standards of all my evaluations, I utilize a neuropsychovocational approach to vocational evaluation. This means that, in my analysis, I synthesize:
Neurocognitive strengths and weaknesses;
Vocationally oriented aptitude to skill acquisition;
Psychological temperament and personality; and
Workplace and career-related values and priorities.
A neuropsychovocational evaluation is a powerful tool with which to arm your loved ones (or yourself). Here are just a few of the reasons it both a personally powerful tool and a fiscally responsible investment.
The strategy of meandering through and graduating from four-year school with plans to seamlessly enter the workforce is outdated. Today’s students need a thoughtful plan about how they will join tomorrow’s workforce.
Between escalating costs of education, the student loan crisis, and the failure of salaries to keep pace with rising cost of living, today’s students need to be strategic about how they invest time and money into their education. Time spent on an unmarketable or unrewarding education represents both an opportunity cost and a poor financial investment.
In the same way that not everybody is equipped to be a professional athlete, actor, or musician, some are ill-suited to a four-year program or post-graduate education. The answer should not be to force a square peg through a round hole, but rather to help everyone identify a vocation or career that would be personally and professionally rewarding.
