As a psychological counselor with 8 years of experience, after spending 300,000 yuan in tuition, taking multiple certificates, and accumulating 2000+ cases, I have summarized three essential tools for psychological counselors, which can not only improve the strength of counseling, but also increase income generation. Do you already know and master these tools?Let's take a look.
OnePlatform Tools:

IIAssessmentclass tools
1、mbti: The Internet trend is widely sought after
MBTI, the full name of Myers Briggs type index, is a professional personality analysis tool widely used by Fortune 500 companies such as McKinsey and IBM. In recent years, thanks to the development of the Internet, MBTI has become rapidly popular and well-known around the world.
Through an in-depth exploration of the four dimensions, MBTI is able to reveal the personality traits and psychological needs of the test taker, providing valuable insights for personal growth and career development. It is just necessary to test in a state of complete relaxation, and the professional version needs to do nearly 100 multiple-choice questions, which is a test for the patient's patience and mood.
Zhongke Talent Cloud Brain Assessment: No answers, more objective, suitable for multiple groups
The human brain is a highly developed organization responsible for receiving and processing information from the inside and outside environment, which in turn guides our behavior and decision-making. Knowing the client's brain and personality is half the battle, and the counsellor can better understand the client's needs and problems, so as to develop a more effective counseling plan.
The Talent Cloud Brain Assessment is a non-questionnaire assessment, which captures the EEG and flashlight information of the test subject through professional instrument-bioelectric detection technology, and then conducts in-depth comparison and analysis between the AI system and the background big data. It not only saves the cumbersome answering process, but also avoids the problem of inaccurate assessment results due to the influence of subjective consciousness.
After proficiency, the assessment process takes about 5 minutesThe report generation time can be set freely, and it only takes 1 minute at the earliest. What's more special is that the talent cloud brain assessment of Zhongke uses AI dual systems to carry out cross-interpretation and analysis of big data, which can be tested again every year to achieve real continuous tracking.
The generated report is divided into version A and version B, and the report version A is open to all users, including multi-dimensional visual data such as the personality of the test subject (divided into 76 animal personalities through AI), brain map strengths and weaknesses, effective learning methods, and professional ability, providing more accurate consulting services for the test taker. Version B of the report is only shown to qualified psychologists, and is accompanied by professional guidance, optimization suggestions, etc. 20 psychological states of the test subjects can be compared and screened, including some of the more common psychological discomfort symptoms, such as procrastination, depression, anxiety, etc.;Psychological conditions such as lack of concentration, lack of self-control, irritability and irritability are more likely to occur in adolescents, and scientific solutions are given.
In addition, the report version can also be selected to meet the needs of different scenarios, such as career direction, high report (career planning) direction, interest class talent direction, family education guidance direction, etcWait. Combined with the commonly used psychometric questionnaires, it is more professional and accurate than traditional usage. It's an assessment tool that I still love after 2000+ individual consultations.
