This focused suite of five world-class psychometric assessments, taken one per week, is designed to help you stand out in competitive applications.
Each assessment not only reveals who you are, but also provides evidence-based language you can use in essays, interviews, and letters of recommendation:
NEO PI-3 – maps your personality traits with the same framework used by top universities and graduate schools, giving you authentic narratives for your application essays.
Watson-Glaser – demonstrates your critical thinking ability, a key trait universities prize and professors often reference in recommendation letters.
Raven’s Matrices – showcases your fluid intelligence and problem-solving style, helping you frame examples for interviews.
CliftonStrengths – identifies your top innate strengths so you can articulate what makes you unique in a global applicant pool.
VIA Survey – highlights your personal virtues and values, offering depth and credibility to your personal statement and motivation essays.
The journey culminates in a 1-Hour Strengths Discovery Session with our Harvard Psychologist. In this one-to-one session, we synthesize your results into proven strategies for:
- Learn how to incorporate your strengths into compelling application essays so you place your best foot forward.
- Practice framing your experiences using the STAR framework (Situation–Task–Action–Result) to tell memorable stories in interviews.
- Receive a specialized “Recommender Support Document” that gives your referees concrete language, traits, and stories to write stronger letters of recommendation.
This is more than assessment — it’s a proven process to help you write better essays, perform with confidence in interviews, and equip your recommenders to advocate for you effectively.
