On 21 October 2019, Ms Rosa Cheng, representative from 'Youth E Start' of The Labour Department conducted a careers talk for F 6 PAUL students using a world renowned aptitude test called Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Students were asked to fill out the Keirsey and Bates Temperament Sorter to find out about their unique personality types. Based on a list of questions about various principal psychological functions, students would identify their preferences and characters. Questions include how they take in information and how they make decisions. Based on their answers, students were recommended a list of most suitable occupations according to their personality types. They found the exercise fun and useful as the results are highly accurate and reliable. The outcome, whether surprising or predictable to the students, can help them understand themselves better and in making decision on their subject choices.
