In the professional assessment seminar, the students first familiarised themselves with various intelligence, knowledge and ability tests (e.g. BOMAT, BOWIT, MTVT-R, AZUBI-BK). In the second step, they developed psychologically sound personnel selection procedures for occupational fields such as pilots, psychotherapists and soldiers. They used well-chosen performance tests. ‘The students had very good ideas here and used, for example, the DBK-PG creativity test in architecture or a self-developed specialised knowledge test for animal care,‘ said Robin, pleased with the students’ learning success.

In the career counselling seminar, the students, who were in their 6th semester and therefore about to decide on a Master's degree course, initially received career counselling themselves. Robin advised them based on their results in questionnaires on personality (BIP-6F), interests (Explorix), motives (IEA) and character strengths (VIA-IS). The students were then asked to advise one person from their circle of acquaintances based on the results of the questionnaire. ‘Electronics, urban planning, police, industrial clerks, social security clerks... the students found a wide range of suitable career recommendations!’

However, the very good teaching evaluations do not mean that the seminars will no longer be improved for the next summer semester. ‘In professional assessment, I would like to show students more performance tests such as the C-PA, the Computer Knowledge Test for Personnel Selection,’ says Robin. 'In career counselling, I will also include a session on providing feedback on the results. In any case, I am really looking forward to the next seminars!"
