CAREER DEVELOPMENT & COUNSELLING

From assessment results to more informed career decisions

Students may progress successfully through their studies and still face their first career choices without a deeper understanding of their own predispositions or the working environments in which they are likely to thrive. Career advisers need a proven, objective structure for individual career conversations.

01 — CHALLENGE

The student’s challenge

Academic knowledge is only part of future success. It is equally important to understand one’s strengths, motivators and the conditions in which a person is most likely to work with satisfaction and effectiveness.

02 — ROLE

The role of Career Services

Career advisers need a tool that saves time, provides an objective assessment foundation and helps them move quickly to the substance of the counselling conversation.

03 — PHILOSOPHY

The Advisio approach

Psychometric assessment does not impose a label or choose a profession for the student. It provides a starting point for building self-awareness and making responsible career decisions.

ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS & GRADUATES

What can students learn from iP121?

The assessment helps students and graduates better understand their natural predispositions and prepare for conversations with employers.

01

Natural way of operating

Understanding personal patterns of behaviour, decision-making and responses to challenges in the workplace.

02

Strengths and potential

Clearly identifying individual strengths that can be communicated in a CV and during recruitment interviews.

03

Needs and working environment

Identifying the organizational and cultural conditions in which a student is most likely to make full use of their potential.

04

Team roles

Understanding the natural role a person tends to take in project and organizational teams.

Areas for further development

Awareness of potential limitations and areas that may benefit from deliberate competency development.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is iP121 for universities and Career Services?+

It is an adaptation of the Insightful Profiler™ iP121 psychometric tool for the academic environment. It supports career advisers and Career Services in assessing predispositions, natural ways of operating and the professional potential of students and graduates.

How does iP121 support student career counselling?+

The tool provides objective, structured data about a person’s potential. Questionnaire results create a professional basis for a 1:1 conversation with a career adviser, helping the student plan their first steps in the labour market more consciously.

Does iP121 tell a student which profession to choose?+

No. Advisio’s methodology assumes that a psychometric tool should describe potential, predispositions and the working environment in which a person is likely to function best — not label them or choose a profession on their behalf. The decision and responsibility remain with the student.

What does the iP121 assessment process look like?+

The student receives an email invitation from the platform and completes the questionnaire online. The assessment works in a web browser on a computer, tablet or phone and usually takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

What does the student receive after completing the assessment?+

A report is generated presenting the participant’s potential profile together with material for discussion during an individual career-counselling session.

Does the university receive its own environment for managing assessments?+

Yes. The university or Career Service receives access to its own organization panel for generating invitations, managing groups of students and accessing reports.
