career counselling Psychometric Assessment
There is always an option for Offline Career Assessment. The traditional method of Career Counseling that has been followed for decades is the paper and pen type. Technology has made things more convenient when compared to the manual work. But we can always go back to those techniques whenever necessary. Edumilestones also helps Career Counselors like us make this come true.
Career Assessment can be done both online as well as offline. Before the advent of a computer, the assessments were done with paper and pencil. As technology progressed, online tests began to replace offline tests so that it can be easily accessible to all. Currently the offline version of the test can be taken with OMR sheets and analyzed later on to provide same results as an online test.
Career assessmemnt for ease of functioning is attempted on line. The system has an inbuilt mechanism that in case interrupted ,the next session starts from the stage where it had stopped.
Moreover adequate redundancy has been incorporated so that in extreme sitautions the assessment test can be facilitated offline using OMR sheets.
Psychological Career Assessment is the best option for students to understand about their skills, strength, weakness, Interest & personality. And provides career option matching their personality, marks & interest.
If the student is unable to complete online assessment due to internet or power issue, the student can continue the test from the same point by logging in again (once power or internet is back).
Students can give test from their smart phone or laptop or desktop, they can arrange any one of them from their friends or relatives as the test takes 30- 45 min max.
If there is no internet coverage in student s location or any of the other option doesn t work, they can take offline test, renowned counsellors like Edumilestone do provide offline tests in the form of OMR sheets. Student need to complete the test & send it to the career counsellors.
This is one question which I would love to answer ,as being a career coach and having the vision to cater to underprivileged children who do not possess smart phones,laptop or even internet connectivity it was something that irked me as well .Thankfully had an Aha moment when I realised that I have been trained to conduct offline assessments as well.And moreover sometimes an assessment may not be needed at all in such cases a thorough pre counselling and a subsequent counselling by one on one interaction ( physically) could be an option .
And also pen paper test or OMR sheets can be used to conduct psychometrics .
Do reach out to me for such cases .Would love to help !!!
