The Intelligent Career Test (BBT)

In the picturesque Swiss Alps of the 1970s, amidst majestic peaks, a vision was born that would transform career counseling forever. Martin Achtnich, inspired by Leopold Szondi's "destiny analysis" theory, embarked on an ambitious mission to create a tool that would help people discover their true vocational calling.

For over two decades, Achtnich meticulously reviewed thousands of photographs, searching for those special captures that could speak to the human soul. From more than 10,000 images, he selected those that not only depicted professions but reflected fundamental human motivations. He created a test that, instead of forcing people to fill out endless questionnaires, allowed them to simply respond to images.

This revolutionary method quickly faced resistance. Major psychometric corporations, accustomed to profiting from expensive tests, saw BBT as a threat. Although attempts were made to challenge its scientific foundations, the test's strength lay in its universality - images spoke to everyone, regardless of education or language.

A breakthrough came in the 1990s when the test reached Dr. Henryk Jarosiewicz at the University of Wrocław. This charismatic psychologist not only brought the test to Polish soil but breathed new life into it. He enriched its theoretical foundations with the achievements of the Polish school of psychology and pioneered its computerized version, paving the way for broader implementation.

The true revolution arrived in 2022 when Mateusz Jarosiewicz combined technological expertise with psychological heritage to bring BBT into the artificial intelligence era. The classic methodology received support from cutting-edge AI algorithms, making the test even more precise and accessible. It was like equipping a Swiss watch with a modern mechanism - maintaining reliability and precision while gaining new capabilities.

Today, BBT is more than a test - it's a movement for democratizing career development. The story that began in the Swiss Alps, through Polish universities, to the most modern AI algorithms, shows that true innovation comes from combining the courage to think differently with a deep understanding of human needs.
