Predisposition tests
- semester 2 and 4
- 20 hours
Even if you still don’t know exactly what you want to do in the future, start your studies at Collegium Da Vinci in any study programme and this knowledge will come to you by itself. When you start your first year at our university, you will pass tests that will show you your natural predispositions and strengths.
In the Clifton StrengthsFinder® study, also known as the Gallup Test, you will find out what your innate talents are, what your individual potential is and in which areas you have a chance to achieve above-average results.
On the other side, the Insightful Profiler™ test will examine your development potential, check what motivates you and what discourages you from acting. It will indicate the features that distinguish you from others and define your natural roles in the team.
At the next stage of your studies, before starting your internship, you will complete the Insightful Profiler™ career aptitude test. The results will be discussed with you individually by a qualified professional, helping you turn the insights into concrete decisions: your development path, preferred roles in teamwork, and the choice of internships tailored to your strengths.
Equipped with such knowledge, you will be able to make more conscious choices on your educational and professional path.

Thanks to this process, you will build independence in making decisions, gain efficiency in actions and strengthen responsibility for your development. During group and individual tutoring classes, you will get to know yourself better, focus on developing your strengths through specific activities and plan an individual learning path. This work will be profitable in the following years

You’ll develop the skills employers expect today: logical thinking, argumentation, the ability to view problems from different perspectives, and to recognize ethical dilemmas. This will prepare you to work in environments where agility, responsibility, and effective action in complex situations matter.
