HBO: Assessments and Psychological Tests
NOA offers scientifically proven assessments and psychological tests for higher professional education (HBO). Our tools support selection, matching, 21+ admission, student well-being, dropout, reorientation, and guidance.
Study Choice Check and Study Thermometer
The Study Choice Check (Matching Assessment or Intake) is used during student registration to determine whether the chosen study program is a good fit and whether there are any areas that require attention to increase the likelihood of academic success.
The Study Thermometer monitors students' progress and well-being during their studies, with the aim of preventing dropouts and identifying problems early on.
Selection and Admission
We offer tools for selection of students for numerus fixus programs and for the 21plus regulations.
Individual Tests and Questionnaires
We also offer various individual tests to determine the attainable educational level and gain insight into interests, motivation, personality, abilities, and competencies.
Benefits for Students and Teachers
The reports from our assessments help students reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and improve their (study) skills. Teachers and supervisors can use these tools to determine which students need additional support and which students, given their abilities, can participate in additional programs. We offer teachers tips for discussions and guidance. See also our interview guide. This allows them to get to the heart of the matter more quickly during guidance discussions and use their limited time more effectively.
Benefits for management and organization
The data we collect with our tools can be used effectively for "Student Analytics." In addition to analyses for improving study success, this includes, for example, improving recruitment, adapting programs to demand, and identifying subgroups of students so that interventions are more appropriate.
We advise on this, can provide various management reports for this purpose, and share data with educational institutions. There are also opportunities for conducting (joint) research.
Customization and Support
With our flexible NOA Talent Portal, we can customize processes and integrate educational organizations' own questionnaires and tests into assessments. Our clients receive professional support from our support department and a psychological advice line for content-related questions.
