Assessment for gaining awareness, questioning or reorienting oneself
TIME TO MIND ADULTS
23 skills for professionalized, 4 skills per subject, 10 pathways for specific professions
The adult who has already entered the world of work may go through a period in which he needs to rethink the basis of his professional future. Consequently, there may emerge in him a desire to confront skills that are typical of his professionalism or that have perhaps remained latent or almost unused up to that point.
Time to Mind, through online Assessments dedicated to adults and through online re-orientation, is a concrete help in providing answers and bringing the participant to a high level of awareness with respect to one or more skills, as well as offering him or her a path to self-improvement.

- Employed adults who wish to relocate in or out of the company
- Unemployed adults seeking new jobs.

Based on the most recent achievements in neuroscience, it was possible to develop a questionnaire to highlight the personal profile of expression of 10 different mental faculties defined as multiple intelligences (which characterize the human mind, according to the studies of Howard Gardner) elaborated by Gian Carlo Cocco, correlated with the questionnaire on the learning style of each person (according to David Kolb’s model).
The two paired Questionnaires, which are easy and quick to fill out and self-explanatory, provide essential guidance support not only for those who are in the position of redesigning their professional future, but also for those who want to check in which areas of activity they are best suited.
THE 10 INTELLIGENCES ANALYZED:
- LINGUISTICS (1)
- MUSICAL (2)
- BODY-KINESTHETIC (3)
- VISUAL-SPATIAL (4)
- LOGICAL-RATIONAL (5)
- MATHEMATICS (6)
- SOCIAL (7)
- INTROSPECTIVE (8)
- VALORIZING (9)
- ETHICS (10)
THE 4 FUNDAMENTAL LEARNING STYLES:
DIVERGENT
