Morrisby

[ArabellaPilkington]

My Y10 DD has just done the Morrisby test and we are a bit confused about how it helps with career/further Ed options.

She has a spiky profile with very high spatial skills - the only really useful bit of info I can see is that it doesn't measure artistic ability but that people with her profile often do well in design.

Is it really geared just towards traditionally academic subjects like English, Languages, Maths & Sciences?

For As, she is interested in Geography, Biology, Art, Psychology and poss Sociology but this hasn't really helped immediately.

Anyone else's DC have similar profile with very high spatial aptitude? If so, what As/degrees/careers might be worth looking at?

They used to, years ago, make a list of recommendations for the person who had taken the test.

Was that not included?

Someone with a high spatial aptitude might be interested in CAD and computer-aided design work.

Anything that involves being able to imagine a 3D solution to problem and then use software to execute the idea. There are many areas of development in this sort of thing in various industries going on at the moment.

Possibly architecture... possibly dentistry... possibly something much more technical like medical robotics. There are so many possibilities and so much innovation. USA is very good for this sort of thing. Lots of seed funding.
