The report

Same data. Three different readers.

The child gets encouragement. Parents get actions. Schools get the numbers. Nobody gets a pass or a fail.

Aarav's strengthsClass 10 · sample

Written for the student — strengths first, in words they can use about themselves.

Pattern logicA real strength
Visual detailA real strength
Working in teamsGrowing well
Sharing ideasStill building

The child sees what they are good at and what is growing. Nothing here can be read as a failure.

Inside the reports

  • Readable in one sitting — scores explained on page one in plain words: what was measured, what it means, what it does not mean.
  • The IQ score comes with its likely range; every number is explained in plain words.
  • For parents: five actions for this week, naming the child's actual strength — not generic advice.
  • For counsellors: the whole picture in one line, what to do in class, and when to check in — day 15 and day 30.
  • A 30-day plan — small, playful practice mapped to the growth area. It is not extra homework.
  • Certificate with a verifiable serial — A4 PDF, shareable on WhatsApp, and a serial any school can check online.

The science, in detail: how a question earns its place →

Will my child get a low score?

Every report leads with strengths and names the growth area as the next thing to practise — never a pass or a fail. Where a report shows a number (the IQ score, the 21st Century Life Skills score out of 100, career fit %), it is explained in plain words on the same page. That's a design decision, not a limitation.

Do you give an IQ number?

Yes — an IQ score with its likely range, all six reasoning zones (strongest named first) and a 30-day plan for the zone with the most room to grow — never the number alone. The score is on the standard scale, where 100 is average, compared only with students in your child's own class. A single number is easy to misread and hard to un-hear, so the report never shows it on its own.

Is this actually scientific?

The item banks draw on established frameworks — RIASEC for interests, VARK and multiple intelligences for learning, standard reasoning constructs for thinking. Every question is written for a specific class band; IQ and 21st Century Life Skills scores are compared against class-level norms, built on students in India.

Isn't Class 3 too young for this?

Too young for a career assessment, certainly: the Ideal Career Test™ — AI-Era Edition starts at Class 9. At Class 3 (about age 8) we measure how your child reasons and the life skills they're building, using pictures, smiley answers and tap-to-hear questions. It's a starting point you revisit each year, not a verdict.

Who can see my child's data?

You, and anyone you explicitly share the report with. A parent or guardian gives consent for every student, at every class, before a report is saved to an account. We're built on India's DPDP consent requirements, and we don't sell data to anyone, for any purpose.

What does it cost?

Every live assessment is free to take — pay only for the full report. A full report is ₹5,000, or ₹12,000 unlocks the Complete Profile: every live assessment for your child's class now (2 for Classes 3–8, 3 for Classes 9–12), plus the Communication Assessment and Learning Ability Assessment when they launch. You can also redeem a code from the Ideal Career Test™ book. Schools, academies and teachers get per-student pricing.
