Q: Have you ever tried giving a local anything like a personality test*?

Really any type of test where you are free to choose any answer. I've tried this 3 times in class and it was intended to be a fun discussion starter. But most (70%-80%) lacked the ability to answer the questions honestly. When they saw that each answer was weighted they changed their answer to the one that had the most points.

Ha ha. I guess it's human nature to wanna do better though in this case, more doesn't mean better.

 

I used to play all kinds of Psychological tests with the others, they agree when the result can boast their ego, otherwise they deny it even if it can be quite true about them.

There is a famous test I use on students

 

1. Mom is calling on the phone

2. The shower is running

3. Your best friend is at the door ringing the bell

4. The baby is crying

 

Put in the order of priority.

Most students in China because of saving water and leaving the tap on at grandma's house always pick #2, turn off the shower, then 1,4,3

 

Most westerners 4,3,2, and mom 1,can just call back.

Englteachted:

I have to find more like this

Just for my curiosity, no schools in Shandong have high school counselors or anything like Myers-Briggs aptitude tests for possible future career placement based on your various skills or ability.

 

Does China have counselors in any schools or aptitude tests for student vocation choices.

I have never seen or heard of this in China.

For the past three years I have given the BMI personality test to my students. We review the results and they have to write an essay. It is a great exercise in the class. It takes me a few days to get the results for all of my students. During those days, they are always eager to find out how they did.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
