Abstract

The purpose of this PKM is to provide insight into the higher education system as well as to find out the potential of students based on their brain color so that when choosing a study program when continuing their studies in higher education according to their potential. The method of implementing this PKM activity is in the form of counseling and personal tests. PKM partners are 99 students of SMAN 08 Tangerang City, Banten. Counseling uses zoom, while personal tests use google forms. After conducting the outreach activities, participants' knowledge of the higher education system was better than before. From the results of the personal test, the distribution of students' brain color was 44% A (office executive, CEO), 8% B (scientist, researcher, accountant, engineer, legal expert, chemist/physicist), 16% C (creative worker, TV presenter, artists, marketing professionals), 15% D (entrepreneurs), and 16% mix from AD. Participants are included in the A-D mix category because their personal test scores on several types of brain color are the same. It is recommended to test participants who are included in the A-D mix to do a personal test again to ensure the type of brain color. If the results are still included in the A-D mix, it means that the participant has multi-talents.
