Morrisby Profile
The Morrisby Profile is a test battery developed specifically for careers guidance. It is composed of several ability tests that together provide an objective view of your talents as they relate to work. The tests include:
-
General reasoning ability; or how you deal with new problems
-
verbal ability; or how you comprehend the meaning of everyday words
-
numerical ability; or how you deal with information presented numerically
-
perceptual ability; or how you understand diagrammatic information
-
spatial ability; or how good you are at visualising things in three dimensions
-
mechanical ability; or how you understand simple mechanical ideas.
The Morrisby Profile uses the
concept of differential ability. This holds that the pattern of an individuals ability is an important ingredient
in identifying careers which suit the individual.
Differential ability focuses on relative strengths and what kind of ability rather than how much ability an
individual has.
