The Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation: Aptitude Testing for Career and College Guidance in NYCNew York City
For over 100 years the nonprofit Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF) has been offering comprehensive career aptitude testing that helps high school students (14+ and up) plan for college and career. Each person's unique combination of aptitudes predicts the types of careers and degree programs they'll thrive in. Using your aptitudes in your work and schooling has been shown to be a key to success and satisfaction. This service offers 6 hours of hands-on, interactive assessments that feel like puzzles or games. Test results are discussed with the family in 60-90 minute consultation appointments (plus a free, second consultation), and all clients receive a 20-page report with their scores and a list of sample careers that would fit their aptitudes. Testing with the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation is called a best-kept secret for college planning!
