What is the Morrisby Profile?

Facing the future and considering study options and a career can be a confusing time. Morrisby is here to help put you on the right track, using scientific profiling of abilities, personality, interests and motivation to help you discover your own unique characteristics. With this awareness, you can ensure you keep your future options open and make the right choices. We are aware that people change over time, so you will receive your own ‘login for life’ which gives access to your own personalised web resource and virtual guide to education, training and careers. As circumstances change, you can develop and refresh your profile - leading to new, relevant suggestions, advice and information. 

We have been providing careers services for more than 50 years and are trusted by over 1,000 schools worldwide. 

What is involved?

You will be asked to take a series of timed assessments and two questionnaires. These are usually taken under exam conditions but do not worry - this is not an exam and there is no need to revise for it. To get an idea of what you might be asked to do, you can find some practice questions at https://app.morrisby.com/practice-questions.

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 does this matter?

 For those of you who feel you already know your direction, Morrisby can help you investigate the best routes to achieve your goals and explore similar careers or courses, including many you may never have considered. 

Objective psychometric assessments identify your strengths across academic, technical and practical areas. These aptitudes are combined with measures of career and study interests, motivations, preferences and temperament to form a comprehensive personal profile. The profile provides you with personal insights, raising self-awareness. The analysis highlights directions for the future, helping to boost motivation and aspiration. 

Options at 18 

Whatever you decide to do after your GCSEs (or equivalent), Morrisby will be here to help. Completing our ‘Study Interests’ questionnaire (which is located on the ‘Options at 18’ page of your results) will give you access to a personalised list of subjects that match your profile and your preferences. You can then research suitable courses at universities in the UK and Europe (using course data from the UCAS and EUNICAS databases). These can be filtered by the type of course that interests you, the region you would like to study in, the grades you are predicted and university type. 

Our Personal Statement template can also help you with your university application. In addition we provide information on degree-level apprenticeships and entry to employment at 18.
