Psychometric testing
Our School is offering this.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Is it of any value?

Our school recently offered Morrisbey testing to year 11. Is that the one you're being offered too?
We read the letter and Googled it and concluded it wouldn't be much use in DS1's case, because he's very sure of what he wants to do and shows every sign of being able to acheive it.
For those in a quandary about what A levels, degree and career to aim for, I guess it may be useful. There is lots of info on the web, including example questions and reports, so have a look as see if that helps you decide.

Our elder DD (year 11) did the Morrisby test this summer. And came out with the career options that exactly mirror ours! As did the majority of her friends.
Very few girls felt they learnt anything new and although they were healthily sceptical about its efficacy, DH and I feel that it was cutting out options far too young, rather than illuminating the range of options open. I don't think we'll bother for the younger DD - don't want yet more writers in the family!! And the test takes no account of which professions - like journalism- are floundering and are increasingly unrealistic ambitions.
