Start Your Assessment Journey

I would like to share our personal experience. My elder daughter had taken the Touchstone aptitude and interest test when she was in 9th standard. To be honest, after getting the report, we got busy with academics and completely forgot about the outcome.

Interestingly, my daughter initially chose a path very different from what the report had suggested - in fact, according to the assessment, it was an area where she was not expected to perform very well. But by the end of her 12th, she herself decided to change her direction, and to our surprise, her new choice was exactly in alignment with the career suggestions given in the Touchstone report.

This experience made me realise how accurate and insightful the assessment actually was. Sometimes children need time to explore and understand themselves, but a scientific test like this definitely provides the right foundation and clarity.

FAQ

Questions about the career assessment

Answers for students and parents about the CPA career test, the report and counselling.

The Career Path Advisory (CPA) assessment is a scientific career assessment for students and working professionals. It is an online aptitude and interest test of 39 short questions that profiles a student across six trait areas and turns the results into a personalised career report.

Anyone from Grade 5 onwards. Students in Grades 5 to 9 use it to discover their strengths early, Grade 10 students use it to choose a stream, Grade 11 and 12 students use it to pick courses and plan entrance exams, graduates and post-graduates use it to choose a specialisation or a first job, and working professionals use it to plan a career change.

Instead of choosing Science, Commerce or Arts on marks alone, the report shows the student's natural strengths and interests and the subjects and career clusters that fit them, so the family can decide on evidence rather than guesswork.

Yes. Like a psychometric career test, it looks at interests and working style rather than syllabus knowledge. Results are shown as a personality wheel with a primary trait, a secondary trait and a level for each of the six trait areas.

A personalised career guidance report with your personality wheel, your strongest traits and suggested subjects, courses and careers. You can also book a one-to-one career counselling session with a career mentor to turn the report into a plan.

Yes. The assessment is fully online, so students can take it from home at their own pace, from any city. Schools can also assess a whole class with test codes or a join link.
