12. Would you rather deal with people, things or perhaps information? You should always be asking yourself very simple questions such as:

Editor's Notes
Section B: Your interest profile. The page on the left explains what the page on the right is all about. The page on the right is a complete summary of the student’s responses to the questions in the questionnaire. There is no information whatsoever from the test results on this page. The column on the left entitled ‘ Career Areas’ contains a number of career and occupational areas listed in accordance with the student’s initial responses to 6 – 10 questions related to that particular career field ( i.e. ‘I think I would like journalism’ ). The second column – ‘Interest level % ’ gives an indication of the level of that initial interest in percentage terms. Usually a student scores 90+ at the top falling to 0 at the bottom. It is important to concentrate on the top few areas i.e. those printed in colour as these would appear to be the most significant areas. The ‘Career Area’ list, in particular the careers at the top, are not necessarily in an absolute priority order. For example “sports” shows up at the top but does the student has a career related to sports in mind or is it simply a reflection of a strong leisure interest? Most students indicate a broad range of occupational areas rather than very specific jobs at this stage. The green ball with the ‘i’ indicates an area that the student has already identified as a possible interest on the day he or she took the test. The purple ‘m’ indicates an area lower down the students Interest Level but with a strong Overall Match. This I will now explain to you. The third column from the left headed ‘Overall match %’ reflects the results of the student’s responses to subsequent, more subtle questions within that particular occupational area to ensure that their initial responses were substantiated and genuine, or otherwise. Some students might not have a proper or realistic picture of a certain career yet and this will be noticed here. It is rare for there to be a 100% at the top of the ‘Overall match%’ column, but anything of 80% or more in this column, matching a very high or high in the ‘Interest level %’ - the first column - can be considered as quite a strong interest. If a very high or high in the ‘Interest level%’ column is matched with a marginal or low in the ‘Overall match %’ column, there are issues that need to be explored with the student. In the fourth column are listed the Useful School Subjects for each career area. Please find the explanation of the symbols at the bottom of the page. For the 6 or 8 priority occupational interest areas, further details are given in the worksheets.
Section C: Worksheet, right page We will start with the right hand page. Looking at these worksheets you will see a bar graph indicating the results of the overall match. The bar graphs in green indicate a sound interest. Orange means that the interest is moderate, but the bar graphs in red in most cases need to be seriously discussed. . Occasionally there will be some ‘red herrings’ here e.g. ‘Drama Related’ contains Music as an overall match. The student may only be interested in acting therefore the Music score should be dismissed from the formula. Equally often in the sciences there may be an interest in Chemistry but no interest in Physics. In case a student is initially interested in Journalism but does not like to write or verbal communication, this would have implications for them. In front of the barcodes you see the percentile. If you add the numbers and divide them by 6 you get the Overall Match percentile as you already saw in column number 3 in section B. All of the ‘ supporting interests’ used in the ‘Overall Match’ box are defined in the paragraphs below. The Look Up Notes refer to Section D further in the report. The next item refers to Relevant Cambridge Test Profile Scores . These are the student’s test scores in percentile terms that are significant to this occupational area. Finally, at the bottom of the page there is a Career Check List box . This contains a number of statements referring to important skills, attitudes, abilities etc for that particular occupational area. The student should be encouraged to complete these at a later stage as they give an excellent insight into what will also be required to be successful in this area. The student should be able to recognise about 70% of the statements but there will be some statements related to skills that the student may not know about at this stage. If a student checks less than 50%, the career area might not entirely suit them.
This provides the students with a check list of the main day to day skills, abilities etc required for the occupational area detailed in the worksheet. This can be undertaken within a homeroom tutorial session.
Section C Worksheet left side First of all the students interest level is indicated here followed by a review of what the career area in general is about. Then it says ‘Supporting Subjects’. Please notice that this varies per country. In the box “Career Areas” you find 3 columns. The first one lists in alphabetical order all sorts of occupations related to the career area as mentioned at the top. In the second column you can reed what kind of qualification is needed for these particular jobs. Please look for clarification of the symbols at the bottom of the page. In the last column it says if a full IB is required or if the student could also do with IB certificates. The Brief Career Descriptions below will give the student a number of statements that briefly describe the job areas listed.

The word ‘Cambridge’ refers only to this product. It has nothing to do with Cambridge University. The left hand page contains the student’s percentile scores. These are their scores after their results have been compared with their norm group. Their norm group consists mainly of students similar to them in terms of age and educational situation i.e. International and Independent schools. Therefore a particularly hard group to be compared against. The group exists of about 5200 students. Note the way the matrix works i.e. 0 to 100. Most students will have a mixture of scores, whereas some may be all low others all higher. This area must be treated with considerable caution. Be aware of all the factors which could affect a student’s scores e.g. unwell, not used to taking standardised tests etc. Also the Verbal Reasoning, English may not be the student’s first language etc.
