"I was able to combine the characteristics of six of my 10 top jobs into one: entrepreneur. Thanks to MAPP, I was able to define my goals, redefine my life, and step into the career of my dreams." —J.D

"I took your assessment today and the results are incredible! With 71 questions you were really able to "see" who I am. I am really impressed. The results have really inspired me to pursue work that will enable me to utilize my best traits and skills rather than my professional training as an attorney. I have been floundering in my career and now I have more incentive to pursue more creative and humanistic work. Thanks a lot!" —G. Woods

    "Your evaluation was a wake up call to me." — MAPP Member

    "The most insightful measure of self assessment I've ever done! Hallelujah!" — MAPP Member

    "I finally feel free to pursue the right job for me. " — MAPP Member

    "I was extraordinarily impressed with your MAPP program that profiled my personality. While I have taken personality profiles before, this one even picked out aspects of my personal life that I enjoy such as cooking, interior design and exercise. It was incredible that a 20 minute test could describe me better than friends of mine who have known me for 10 years! I particularly liked the logical next of your program to match my personality to various Job Descriptions. This brings enormous value to people like me and is unmatched by any other personality test I have taken. I highly recommend this test to anyone who is not completely satisfied with their job or career." — Jeff Kahn CEO, GarageGrids

    "I took the test yesterday. The site was clear and easy to navigate, the test painless, and the reports detailed. From an individual users point of view the report (I sent for the super detailed 30-page report) provided some very accurate insights and offered much food for thought-excellent." — Martin Yate, Knock 'Em Dead, Author

    "The MAPP system has been a great source for gaining some clarity on career direction, and has helped to eliminate some areas where I was riding the fence. It was good to see that the directions where my "heart" said I should go also matched highly with the career compatibility/MAPP rating." — Bill

    "Thanks for the MAPP online! I have found it stunning for the most part, almost like opening a book and realizing that the book was written about you. I consider your service similar to a trusted mentor offering guidance." — A. Adams

    "Thank you for your analysis. I found it to be startlingly accurate compared to other aptitude tests I have taken, such as Myers-Briggs. I appreciate your insights into how the pieces fit together. For instance, I have known for some time now about the logical mind, big picture orientation, etc. Your analysis provided some connections that I was not able to make before, and some connections were a surprise! I found your web site while job seeking, so hopefully I will be more prepared for the next interview. Thank you again." — Diane

    		The left column is a set of computer reference codes. They are there for coding purposes. The column to the right of the traits is the raw score. This is used to determine the level of motivation you have for each characteristic. The second column of numbers indicates the motivation level you have for that particular trait. There are five levels of motivation:

    1. Compelling traits. These are your strongest traits will help you to be succesfull in your job
    2. Highly motivated traits. These are very important for you to express in a job
    3. Moderately motivated traits for you
    4. Traits that have little or no importance to you
    5. Traits that are aversions for you

    Think of these as "energy" traits that are on a continuum, from positive to negative. Traits with 1's and 2's are on the positive end of the energy spectrum indicating that you are highly motivated to use these traits, and 4's and 5's on the negative end.

    Keep in mind that because a trait is at level 4 or 5 does not mean you cannot perform tasks related to that particular trait. It simply means you do not desire to perform those tasks regular

    2. Temperament for the Job - This group identifies how you prefer to perform tasks. They are personal traits which you have a tendency to display at work.
    3. Aptitude for the Job - This section includes mental, perceptual, and sensory/physical factors that show how your mind and senses work together.
    4. People - This section discusses your roles, relationships, and priorities. These factors indicate how you are likely to respond in your working relationships with others.
    5. Things - How you relate to factors such as engineering, operations, and sensory/physical illustrate technical and craft potential.
    6. Data - This section involves your mental orientation and order of thinking. These factors cover the full range of thinking from theory to fact, thinking to doing. If ratings are high, mental activity is an important part of your vocational activities.

    8. Mathematical - This group of factors indicates your interest level in applying the use of mathematics on the job.
    9. Language - This section reports your motivation and potential in the use of language and communication.

    TESTIMONIALS (...continued)

    "I'm thinking of trying new pathways this year, while I can - and your service gives me an idea of where I'd be most useful and happiest. It's a terrific time-saver (who wants to spend another year at a desk job if s/he'd be best suited a Park Ranger?) and verified many of my personal choices. What a useful tool - especially for the first time career seekers and returning workforce. At my age, I think I know myself pretty well. Your service told me a little bit more about where I'm going." —Lynn

    "My assessment was very enlightening. There really were things about myself that I saw in writing which helped me to be realistic and honest during job interviews. I have now accepted a position with confidence due to the aid of the MAPP information provided, which was a factor in discerning which offer to accept." —Linda K.

    "I received my assessment yesterday and I have to admit I started reading it with more than a little disbelief. By the time I reached the second paragraph my jaw was on the floor. I couldn't believe how accurate it was. I gave it to my four closest friends to read because I thought maybe I was reading just what I wanted to or maybe it was a fluke. They all agreed it was a profile of me word for word. I'm going to pass it on to my H.R. dept and to my team leader to have them take the test so we can compare results to make sure it's not a blanket form and if there as impressed as I was I may be the best salesman your company has ever had." —C. Carter

    "The MAPP test really helped me realize my potential in fields I would not have otherwise considered. The evaluation was accurate and insightful highlighting both my strengths and weaknesses. I now know where I should concentrate my energy to gain fulfillment in the workplace." — Leeanna Client of Don Campbell CEC www.career-coach.ca

    "The MAPP assessment was incredible!! It was almost eerie how accurate it was. The MAPP highlighted my areas of strength, some of which I have never really been able to put a label on. My wife and my parents read my assessment and marveled at how bang on it was, my wife remarked that after reading it she felt like she understood me even better! I would recommend the MAPP assessment for anyone looking to uncover their strengths, values, and potential areas to focus on for a fulfilling and meaningful life!" — Jeff Client of Don Campbell CEC www.career-coach.ca

    "As an independent management consultant, I have used the MAPP in many contexts. All of them were successful and many businesses and individuals have benefitted from the application of this motivational and interest survey instrument." "The most amazing part of MAPP is that invariably, the person taking the assessment totally validates most every finding generated by the instrument. It is so fulfilling in MAPP consultations to watch as "the lights go on" for someone. They find that they are validated in such a powerful fashion, without assigning canned "labels" for the person's characteristics. In fact, the MAPP does quite the opposite: It explores a person's individual gifts and interests in such a way, that they truly discover they are unique. And further, that their unique set of motivations is what will enable them to act effectively in particular vocational settings and positions." —Alan J Matchinsky, IAC, Coach and Mentor, Apple Valley, MN

    What are you going to be when you grow up? Last month I told you about the MAPP, an amazing new career assessment I've discovered. I told you I was going to have my 16-year-old son, Robbie, take it as a test for using it with teens. Well, Robbie was pretty skeptical about the whole idea. However, when I interrupted him in the middle of a computer game and got him to take the assessment, he became a believer. He said, "Mom, that was the coolest test I ever took". He loved knowing that he had all the skills and talents he needed to become an engineer. He learned how he deals with people, machines, data, tasks, supervision, and leadership. He liked knowing which tests he performs the best on and which learning style will help him learn successfully. He had to laugh when he read that he likes to figure things out on his own instead of reading detailed instructions. Too true! One of the best benefits of this assessments for teens is that it helps them choose a career path or college degree that matches their talents. Robbie liked looking at all the different careers that matched his skill set. I felt relieved that I was not planning to spend the money on a college program that he was not suited for and may not finish. —Lynne Klippel, MOT, OTR/L, CCC President, Maximal Potential Lynne@coachcorner.com www.coachcorner.com
