Rosenberg Test
The document discusses the Rosenberg self-esteem test and an IAT (Implicit Association Test) that the author took. For the Rosenberg test, the author scored in the normal range but felt the test was not broad enough or helpful enough, only containing 10 questions. The author believes the tests should provide more feedback and tips to improve self-esteem. In contrast, the IAT provided clearer instructions and explored categories of good vs. bad associations. The author felt it did a better job of explaining the purpose and directing people to learn more.
CAREER PLANNING FOR STUDENTS.pptx

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAREER
Quite often in life, there comes a time when we have to take a decision that would, in the long run, determine our future. Choosing a career is one of such times. It is common among youths to say, “I want to become an Engineer, I want to become a Medical Doctor, I want to become a Lawyer”. These statements are made with little or no knowledge of what it takes to pursue such professions. In most cases, many go into such career with ignorance. Therefore, to avoid “Had I known” in the end, there is need for you to be well informed before choosing a career. This article will expose you to choosing a right career, how to choose a right career, reasons for choosing a right career and a career table that summarizes the interest, personality, hobbies and career interest as well as possible courses that would match them.
