Best Career

This app asks students to take some tests and identifies suitable careers

This application is designed to help students to identify careers that are suitable to them. The application asks students to take 3 tests. The first one asks questions that help to identify a students interest areas, and is based on the well-known “Holland Code” model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_Codes) . The second test asks questions that help to understand the student’s personality. The third test identifies the student’s aptitudes on four dimensions – Verbal, Mathematical, Logical & Reasoning and Creative. The tests contain 72, 44 and 40 questions respectively and are multiple-choice or “Yes/No” type. Based on the results of these three tests the application recommends careers that are suitable to the test-taker. The application has a database of 350+ careers from which it chooses and recommends careers to the test-taker. A 7 page reported is generated and is displayed to the student and also sent to their email address.

Students need to register to take the test. The information collected at the time of registration is “Name”, “Date of Birth”, “School Name”, “Email address, “Phone Number”. A unique student ID is created for each student and can be used for future login. Login is also possible using the email address.

The application may be used either in a for-pay or free mode. In the free mode it will be delivered as part of our organisation’s outreach activities in career counselling.
