Morrisby Profile - Information for parents

Modified on: Fri, 25 Jul, 2025 at 4:15 PM



What is the Morrisby Profile? 

The Morrisby Profile is here to help your child find their true career direction using scientific profiling of abilities, personality, interests and motivation to help them discover their own unique characteristics. With this awareness, they can ensure they are able to make the right choices when it comes to options at ages 16 and 18, local college or higher education courses and apprenticeships, plus lots of information on the careers that we feel they would be best suited to. We have been providing careers services for more than 50 years and are trusted by over 1,500 schools worldwide. 

What is involved? 

Participants will be asked to complete approximately 100 minutes of timed assessments and questionnaires. These are usually taken under exam conditions – but this is not an intelligence test and there is no need to revise. The student is given practice questions at the start of each session and a timer shows how much time is left as sections are worked through. Results can be immediate, or schools can choose to release them later and results can be shared with parents via the online accounts that will be generated upon sign up. 

Why should you sign up to do the Morrisby Profile? 

  • Gives a fascinating insight into inner strengths and abilities, preferences, motivations, and personality type 
  • Helps make important decisions such as which subjects to take or what the next steps could be based on their preferences
  • Provides careers suggestions best suited to their inner strengths and abilities plus advice on the routes to those careers and makes appropriate recommendations
  • Offers access to over 600 career descriptions including videos, case studies and useful links
  • All accounts include a ‘login for life’ which gives users the ability to develop and refresh their profile and seek support over time
