Educational/Career Testing

Academic Major/Career Selection for High School/College Students & Adults:

The Center for Testing offers guidance for Bradley University students, as well as high school students and those attending other colleges, who need assistance with their planning. Students meet individually with a professional who determines the most appropriate tests for their needs. They then complete a combination of ability and aptitude tests, personality and values measures, and career interest inventories. During their final appointment, they receive an interpretation of the results, along with suggestions for steps to take to achieve their goals. A similar process is followed for adults who are contemplating a career change.

Screening of Academically Talented Children:

As an integral part of their admission/selection process, Peoria Public School District 150 refers children to the Bradley University Center for Testing for individual intelligence testing. Parents who need to identify the IQ of any child from age 6 to 16 may also call the Center to request testing. The test takes less than two hours to administer.
