You’re at a crossroads in your life
You realize that the study path you choose will largely determine where you end up.
You’ve seen friends or family members make the wrong choice, only to find themselves disillusioned after a few months. As a result, they lost valuable money, time, and energy—and unfortunately, sometimes even a great deal of their self-confidence.
You don’t want that. Failing from time to time may not be a disaster in the grand scheme of life—after all, if you’re smart, you’ll learn a lot from it—but still, you’d rather avoid making the wrong study choice. And rightly so.
You want to choose the right study program—ideally, one that fits you perfectly. One you can embark on with enthusiasm and talent, aligned with your character. One you will successfully complete, allowing you to build a strong foundation for your future. So that you will later have a fulfilling and engaging job, an exciting career, inspiring colleagues, and… earn the income you need to live well.
You may already know that a Coretalents-analysis helps you identify your values and strengths, and that the results give you the insight to put yourself on the right track.
You may also know that a Coretalents-analysis gives you a clear understanding of what energizes you and what drains you—what excites you now and will continue to do so in the future, and what does not.
But how do you align this self-knowledge with the vast number of study paths available? And how can you be sure that your chosen path will lead to professions and jobs that truly suit you over the course of what will hopefully be a long and fulfilling career?
Our Coretalents-analysts help you see the bigger picture and navigate your options with clarity
After your analysis, you will receive a specially designed assignment to help you pick the ideal opportunities from this vast orchard—the ones that truly match who you are. So that, in the end, you can make a well-informed decision that not only suits you today, but will continue to be the right choice for your future.

Testimonies from young people
Adrien Dooremont, MSc Economics
“When I decided to have my coretalents analysis, I was in the second year of my bachelor’s studies in a direction that was becoming increasingly boring. It took me a lot of effort to study the material which in fact was not that difficult. Despite my eagerness to learn, I began to experience my studies as a burden. I also had absolutely no desire to pursue a career in a sector where everything revolves around administration.
Thanks to knowing my coretalents and the advice of Danielle, I reoriented myself to a direction where almost everything fascinated me. My experience at the university began improving from day one: I once again liked to learn and experienced many lessons as if they were a hobby! I will be graduating this year (ed: 2017). I also found a job in a role where I will be able to use all my coretalents on a daily basis. What else could a young starter like me wish for? I now take my coretalents into consideration for all important decisions in all aspects of my life: it simply feels right.”
PS: Adrien became a Coretalents analyst in 2017, is perfectly trilingual and helps especially young people make a suitable study choice.
Max X
“As a young person and a generalist, it’s often difficult for me to focus on one particular activity, study or career choice. There are a thousand and one things that I want to discover and learn, but this does throw a spanner in the works if you want to engage in a permanent, long-term job or studies.
The coretalents analysis showed me that I can go in many different directions, but that only a few will really make me feel satisfied. However, it’s about finding the best place for you to be on this earth, where you can develop and evolve. It helped me find a direction in which I no longer felt in the dark, but saw that little bit of light at the end of the tunnel, and went for it.”
Testimonies from parents
Danielle Krekels received this mail from a mother after her son received an analysis regarding study choice:
“Dear Danielle,
X was so enthusiastic that I had to pass on some of the things he said.
He put it like this: ‘Mum, I finally see what my problem is’. I even received a quite extensive story with some super fun anecdotes.
As a mum, a big thank you for applying your talents in such a way that my son again feels good about himself. I see that he really feels this way, and am very grateful to you for that.
Finally, I want to thank you for the difference you make and the self-confidence and growth that X has gained through your approach and who you are.”

“Years ago I participated in a coretalents analysis in the context of a job application. I experienced the analysis as remarkably striking. Which is why I forwarded them to my parents and close friends who were surprised to confirm the accuracy of the analysis.
Many years later I came across the analysis again when tidying up and I visited the website.
My mother treated me to a coretalents analysis of my kids. This summer, some 3 years after the analysis, my son is making his choice for higher studies. Without referring to it, my wife and are seeing the choice evolve in the direction indicated at the time. Funny, but it gives us a good feeling. Thanks Danielle.”
