Here’s a ‘True’ Story for you:



5

Where did Tony go wrong?

He never looked inward – didn’t acknowledge his

interests, aptitude, personality and uniqueness.

He believed human mind is ‘Tabula Rasa’ – a

Blank Slate where he could write anything!

He believed, the greatest room for

improvement lies in weaknesses

than strengths.

He was externally-driven, where

he thought if everybody’s doing

an MBA, it ought to be good for

him too!

He thought he would make a quick buck if he

gets a job after an MBA. Though he did get a job

and a quick buck, but he realized, it isn’t going

to last!

He never could find a coach, a mentor, a guide

who could make him realize his potential in time.

Though, it’s still not late, he’s following his

passion now – which is Stand up comedy.



6

Where did Sheena go right?

She looked inward – truly acknowledged her

interests, aptitude, personality and uniqueness.

She believed human mind is not ‘Tabula Rasa’ –

a Blank Slate but has innate strengths and

qualities.

She believed, strengthening her

strengths is the ultimate way to

be happy in career and in life!

She was internally-driven, where

she thought she ought to do

what she’s cut for and not imitate

others.

She thought the only way to be happy is to do

what she loves and love what she does.

She had a supporting family, teachers and

mentors who guided her and never forced her to

follow someone else’s dreams!

Multiple Intelligence Assessment is based on Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence. It suggests that the

traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different

intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

About the Assessment:

Career Anchors

Career Anchor Assessment is based on Edgar Schein’s theory of Career Anchors. The assessment explores how

personality, motivation and values affect career choices and preferences, through the metaphor of an anchor which

pulls people towards specific role types in their work life. Dr. Pallab Bandyopadhyay has further improved this tool to

suit the Indian Context. There are 9 Anchors according to this assessment:-

Technical expertise Managerial

Autonomy/

Independence

Security/

Stability

Entrepreneurial/

Creativity

Service/

Dedication to a cause Pure challenge Lifestyle

Organizational

Identity

About the Assessment:

Impressions (360° Feedback)

Impressions provides a credible way for candidates to communicate their personality

through feedback from their network.

Impressions is created by experienced in-house

psychologists, subject matter experts and career

counselors.

By describing a person from a fixed list of

adjectives, then asking their friends and colleagues

to describe them from the same list, a grid of

overlap and difference is built up.

This helps in understanding how others view this

person and if there’s a difference between how the

person thinks about himself/herself and how

others perceive this person.
