Assessing Potential: 11th-Grade Students Took the GEVA Test
Once again this year, Steinmühle gave 11th-grade students the opportunity to assess their own abilities and interests through the geva test before they finalize their selection of advanced courses. The task was to work through a test booklet containing various exercises within a limited time. Many students are still unsure about the direction their future career “journey” will take. They are struggling with their choice of advanced courses and have absolutely no idea which college major to pursue or which vocational training program to complete later on.
Once the results are analyzed, the geva test essentially provides students with answers to the following questions:
- What are my greatest interests, key skills, and achievements?
- Where is there potential, and where are the starting points for my personal development?
- Am I assessing my performance accurately? In which areas do I overestimate myself, and in which do I underestimate myself?
- How do I stand out from my peers with a similar educational background?
- Which degree programs or vocational training programs are the best fit?
- What career development opportunities are available?
“Our partnership with the geva Institute is an important part of our career guidance efforts,” explained Dr. Claudia Röder, who is responsible for academic and career guidance at Steinmühle and coordinates the school’s internships.
