Discover your potential while you are still a student
Are you sure you are developing?
No one can deny that COVID-19 and the economic crisis have brought us considerable trouble and negativity, leading to global unemployment. However, COVID-19 has also helped us in many ways if we know how to understand the reality of the situation, establish plans for the future, the era of “digital technology” development.
Right now, you need to know clearly who you are, what you want, and what strengths you have to develop.
Right now, you need to have long-term plans for the future that are clear, focused, and growth-oriented. Opportunities can come to you and leave you at any time if you are not ready to embrace them.
You need to make the most of this valuable time “recharge” your strength and confidence so you are always ready to integrate into the 4.0 revolution.
I have seen many young people feeling confused and worried about themselves because they do not know where the future will lead. However, quite a few others have responded in fascinating ways: they see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to focus on themselves during social distancing, carefully explore and develop their personal skills, and be ready to embrace opportunities when the crisis passes and seize of your own.
So what will you choose for yourself right now, while you are still sitting in the classroom?
As the economy continues to develop in the future, competition among businesses will become increasingly intense. To outperform their competitors, businesses will focus more strongly on people. Recruitment will therefore become increasingly rigorous as the number of applicants grows exponentially each year, and candidates with suitable abilities will be recruited. Could you be one of the people businesses are looking for?
According to recent statistics from the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, approximately 60% of graduates work outside their field of study. Some even work for electronics assembly or garment companies, or take common jobs such as driving for technology platforms like Grab and Goviet—occupations that do not require a university degree. In addition, when an economic crisis occurs, unemployment will rise significantly because the crisis may have no clear end, and no one can be certain of what will happen. Businesses will therefore tighten their workforce and become more selective in recruitment to reduce costs. This shows that many students today have not truly explored or focused on developing themselves. If you continue to feel confused and fail to seek a suitable position while still in school by focusing on your potential zone and positioning yourself right now, how much longer will you wait?
One way to develop yourself, choose a suitable career, and move toward success faster is to explore your strengths and your own area of brilliance. It is like a torch hidden deep within you, and you need to find it and light it.
To help us explore and develop ourselves and understand ourselves and others, psychological assessment tools were created, including fingerprint biometrics, DISC, MBTI, Uchida-Kraepelin, and OD-TOOLs. Choosing the right psychological assessment tool helps you understand yourself accurately at the appropriate time.
When you take a fingerprint biometrics test, scanning your fingerprints reveals characteristics rooted in your innate nature. However, as we learn and develop within an external environment, we change to adapt to that environment. Therefore, fingerprint-based testing does not provide a high level of accuracy. DISC and MBTI tests, meanwhile, guide you according to the person you want to become, using questions that often cause respondents to mix in feelings of liking and dislike…
To address the limitations of these psychological assessment methods, Uchida-Kraepelin (UK test) was developed. This entirely new form of assessment is based on simple addition problems that require a high level of concentration and brain engagement, prompting you to think as you would while performing your actual work.
Although the addition problems are simple, they produce highly objective results reflected in how you calculate, the number of answers you provide, and your accuracy rate. The test helps you better understand your personality, flexibility in handling situations, sensitivity, and social activity tendencies. It thereby helps you make sound decisions when choosing a school or field of study suited to your strengths, or adjust yourself to align with your aspirations. This helps you avoid academic pressure and instead learn how to motivate yourself to strive and develop your strengths. Avoid wasting unnecessary time and money. In addition, the test helps you better understand your own psychology and improve your social communication.
Psychological assessment tools Uchida-Kraepelin have been created and developed over the past 73 years in Japan and other Asian countries, and are consistently the first choice of Japanese companies for recruitment. They are highly regarded for their scientific rigor, validated by Japan's psychiatric research institute using an enormous sample base from 1930 to the present, with continuous scientific improvements, detailed analysis, accuracy controls, and a strong focus on quality.
The above psychological assessment tools OD-TOOLs (developed in Germany, with 19 years of development, used across 21 countries by more than 28 million people). Through Trait-map within OD-TOOLs is a personality and career questionnaire that helps measure how well you fit your desired work. You will better understand your emotional intelligence, while also measuring your imagination, creativity, and emotional levels, enabling you to choose a career aligned with your values.
