I am looking for career counselling service for my son who is in 10th grade in CBSE pattern school. I find several companies providing such services by conducting psychometric tests and meeting with counsellor but i wonder how they can judge a kid just by conducting tests and conselling sessions . As per me to understand a kid's interests/behaviour, the counsellor has to spend sufficient time with him for couple of months. So please suggest me how to proceed ?
Ans: I undestand & agree as parents, there can't be any counsellor better than them.
Having said so there's a scientific method called IQ test which goes deeper to understand the ability and aptitude of the individual.
In India, the education system is memory based rather than evaluating the in born skill sets.
However your child has reached 10th grade CBSE which has a fairly educative platform.
The continuation of what was learnt and which will be applicable in the combination he chooses to match, his subject tastes, aptitude and ability!
Suggestions: emotionally parental choice, professionally must consult the school counselor, go through the education subject performance graph. Along with your and incumbents gut feel.. That's important!?
