Where did Tony go wrong?
He never looked inward – didn’t acknowledge his
interests, aptitude, personality and uniqueness.
He believed human mind is ‘Tabula Rasa’ – a
Blank Slate where he could write anything!
He believed, the greatest room for
improvement lies in weaknesses
than strengths.
He was externally-driven, where
he thought if everybody’s doing
an MBA, it ought to be good for
him too!
He thought he would make a quick buck if he
gets a job after an MBA. Though he did get a job
and a quick buck, but he realized, it isn’t going
to last!
He never could find a coach, a mentor, a guide
who could make him realize his potential in time.
Though, it’s still not late, he’s following his
passion now – which is Stand up comedy.

Multiple Intelligence Assessment is based on Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence. It suggests that the
traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different
intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

About the Assessment:
Career Anchors
Career Anchor Assessment is based on Edgar Schein’s theory of Career Anchors. The assessment explores how
personality, motivation and values affect career choices and preferences, through the metaphor of an anchor which
pulls people towards specific role types in their work life. Dr. Pallab Bandyopadhyay has further improved this tool to
suit the Indian Context. There are 9 Anchors according to this assessment:-
Technical expertise Managerial
Autonomy/
Independence
Security/
Stability
Entrepreneurial/
Creativity
Service/
Dedication to a cause Pure challenge Lifestyle

Identity

About the Assessment:
Impressions (360° Feedback)
Impressions provides a credible way for candidates to communicate their personality
through feedback from their network.
Impressions is created by experienced in-house
psychologists, subject matter experts and career
counselors.
By describing a person from a fixed list of
adjectives, then asking their friends and colleagues
to describe them from the same list, a grid of
overlap and difference is built up.
This helps in understanding how others view this
person and if there’s a difference between how the
person thinks about himself/herself and how
others perceive this person.
