WHAT PLAYERS DO
Journey
Using a phone, tablet, or laptop, players take a journey of self discovery within an epic narrative featuring an entertaining collection of in-app quests.
Discovery
The way players respond triggers their unique set of data points. It is collected and compiled to produce a high-resolution portrait of their "super powers".
Destination
Finally, players receive a personal profile of strengths, traits, and talents - putting each person on the path to success in education and career.
Why discovering Super Powers is so important.
ACT, the organization that tests students for college readiness, found that only 40% of all students who were very sure of their planned major choice, in fact, selected a major that was a good fit with their interests. An alarming 60% declared a major which they admitted might not be the right one for them. Roughly 62% indicated during registration that they need assistance in formalizing their best educational and occupational plans.
These statistics point to the dire need to assist students with the discovery of their strengths, traits, and talents and then match each student’s unique personality type to closely matching opportunities in education and career.
By determining a student's overall traits using proven elements within academic, clinical, and organizational psychology, Formula Play helps students discover their unique personality inventory of strengths and talents. We assess and deliver both an accurate personality profile and an inventory of matching career opportunities.
Students benefit by obtaining the guidance they want and need. And with their unique personal profile inventory in hand, it becomes possible for students to chart the most promising course through college and into a successful and fulfilling career.
This is why Formula Play was created.
PROVEN SCIENCE
MAKES US ACCURATE
We include the academic, clinical, and organizational psychology gold standard ‘Big Five’ – the five basic building blocks of personality, supported by a wealth of empirical research reaching back decades.
The Big Five determine player's overall traits then further refinement takes place using the Holland Codes or the Holland Occupational Themes (RIASEC), a theory of careers and vocational choice based upon personality types.
Additional influences come from the science of the Myers–Briggs psychometric questionnaire which was designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The questionnaire was created by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers based on an extrapolation from the typological theories proposed by Carl Jung's 1921 book "Psychological Types".
With these elements combined, we are able to achieve a more accurate picture of each player's strengths, talents, and traits. The findings are remarkably accurate as witnessed by players' enthusiastic responses to their assessed results.
OUR METHODOLOGY
MAKES US UNIQUE
Unlike traditional assessments, we present users with an engaging, action-filled narrative. The story unfolds as users move through an associated 35-question response set.
The narrative is inspired by a rite of passage journeys. This ties up to the theme of Formula Play: to find your place in life and become a fulfilled and productive member of society by way of identifying your passions, powers, and full potential.
