Summary
Many teenagers are confused about continuing their education to the level. This is one of the reasons why this Community Service Activity was carried out. Sebagian dari remaja yang berada di lingkungan tersebut tidak mengetahui taraf intelligensi dan minat bakat mereka, sehingga sulit dalam menentukan jurusan di sekolah. Belum ada pihak tertentu yang melaksanakan kegiatan sosialisasi kepada para remaja di lingkungan X untuk membuka wawasan mereka tentang pentingnya pendidikan yang mereka tempuh, dan bagaimana mengetahui taraf intelligensi serta minat dan bakat mereka dalam menentukan jurusan yang nantinya akan mereka pilih di jenjang sekolah lanjut (Anastasi, 2007). Adapun permasalahan yang ditemukan di Lingkungan X Kecamatan Medan Johor yaitu banyak dari mereka tidak melanjutkan Pendidikan ke tahap berikutnya, yang mana hal ini disebabkan karena pergaulan yang kurang baik di sekitar tempat tinggal mereka. 2. Ketidakpahaman para remaja dalam menentukan peminatan di sekolah dalam memilih bidang ilmu sosial ataupun eksakta untuk Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA), karena kebanyakan dari mereka hanya ikut-ikutan teman saja. Alternatif yang ditawarkan adalah dengan menyelenggarakan kegiatan tes minat bakat, sehingga diharapkan mereka memiliki pemahaman dan mendapatkan gambaran intellegensi serta kemana arah minat dan bakat mereka yang sesuai dengan kemampuan yang dimilikinya
