The use of psychological testing in the selection process for career education programs is intended to be constructive and beneficial to both the applicant and the institution to which admission is sought.

Tests are designed to assist in selecting and placing people in situations where personal assets are maximized. The results obtained from psychological tests may be used as a tool or device to help determine unique individual potential. Acceptance and positive utilization of this information can lead to a happy, productive, and satisfying training and subsequent work experience.

If a program of study for which one may be reasonably well suited does not make full use of unique qualities and proficiencies, those abilities and talents will not be properly, fully or satisfactorily developed. An individual's education, training and experience may not be congruent with that required by a specific program, but found quite harmonious with many other education programs or vocations.
