Blu Ripples Card Sorter Cards Psychometric Assessment Cards

Card Sorts

A visual psychometric tool to help you cognitively identify and process your thoughts, feelings, emotions, interests, values and skills

Card Sorts: Exploring Your Skills, Values, Motivators and Interests

Discover your preferences, interests and values to guide personal and career decisions

Card Sorts Cards are decks of flash-cards designed to help you think about and process your values. They can assist you in identifying, categorising, and ranking patterns, themes, preferences, interests, and skills that are relevant to both your professional and personal life.

How Card Sorts Work: Supporting Personal and Career Decisions

Identify Talents, Skills & Motivators for Personal and Career Decisions

By using Card Sorter Cards, you can determine appealing activities, skills, values, and motivators in both personal and career contexts.  Through structured administration and guided discussion, the information gathered from these cards allows clients to create their own personalised selection criteria. This process enables clients to compare opportunities, identify roles and environments that align with their preferences, and avoid situations that may be less motivating or unsuitable based on preferences.

Using Card Sorts in this way can also uncover hidden talents and interests, optimise personal and career satisfaction, and support managing challenges in work and life situations.

Blu Ripples administers seven Card Sorts: three uniquely developed by founder Katherine Foster to address career and personal areas not typically covered by standard assessments, and four sourced from leading industry professionals and organisations. These tools can work individually or together to provide a comprehensive approach, helping clients uncover their preferences, values, motivators, and transferable skills.

By using these Card Sorts, clients can create personalised selection criteria, identify hidden talents, and make informed decisions to support both career growth and personal development. Whether you are exploring new career options, reflecting on personal interests, or planning your next professional steps, these Card Sorts provide a structured and engaging way to gain valuable insights.

Ethical Considerations

Supporting Your Safety and Wellbeing

Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority when using our assessments. Before administering any psychometric tool, we make sure you meet the age and reading requirements, and that the assessment is suitable for your current circumstances. We operate within our expertise and follow strict duty of care, ethical guidelines, and supplier requirements.

If there’s any uncertainty, we will request medical clearance from your GP or a qualified mental health professional. This ensures we can provide any necessary accommodations, minimise potential triggers, determine if it’s appropriate to proceed, and most importantly, support your wellbeing throughout the process.
