Before you check your VITALS
Questions worth asking
Clear expectations are part of making a considered decision.
What is a psychometric assessment?
A structured tool used to measure relevant personal characteristics such as interests, preferences, abilities or personality-related factors.
Does it tell me which career to choose?
No single assessment should make that decision. Your results provide objective insight and highlight directions that may be worth exploring.
Is Career VITALS career coaching?
No. It is a focused psychometric assessment, personalised report and professional feedback service.
Can parents take part?
Yes. Parents or guardians can play an important role when the assessment is completed by a learner. Lené will explain the appropriate level of involvement.
Can working professionals complete it?
Yes. Career VITALS can support professionals who want to understand their strengths, consider a change or clarify their future direction.
