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!
