Testimonials
It has been my pleasure to collaborate with the Greenwood System to provide my UCLA Extention students access to their career assessment, the GS 45. In addition to creating a quality, accurate assessment, the Greenwood System has proven to be an excellent resource for both my students and for me to further understand the mechanisms, pedagogies, and philosophies behind career assessment tools.
I like the GS45 assessment test because of the in depth questions and the holistic approach of not just looking at interests but also personality, abilities, and values.
I like GS45 for my students because I get a better picture of the student’s personality and more career ideas. It is a more comprehensive assessment, and it did not seem as easy to manipulate. The report is also more detailed and has more information for the client to read to learn about him or herself.
The Greenwood System is an excellent tool to get clients actively engaged in determining a career path that aligns with their personality, beliefs, goals, and strengths.
Thank you for the Greenwood System! I’ve got a good idea on what I’ll go after, and multiple resources now to explore my other potentials. The assessment process was absolutely fantastic and I appreciate the depth to which it uncovered my true potential. Best process I’ve ever been through, so again, thank you. You all are doing good work, so keep it up.
I really, really like the GS45. I felt like the assessment itself was very engaging because it asked questions in a variety of different formats. I also appreciate that it took into consideration interests, abilities, personality, and values. I feel like the results were very detailed and told me a lot about myself. I also like the emphasis on the importance of grit in determining future success.
