Aptitude Test

Aptitude Tests

As a help in understanding and choosing exactly which sort of report you need we offer the following clarification. Some references and extracts have been sourced from Wikipedia.

An aptitude is an innate component of a competency (the others being knowledge, understanding, learned or acquired abilities (skills) and attitude) to do a certain kind of work at a certain level. Aptitudes may be physical or mental, and are frequently described in behavioural terms. An aptitude may measure potential as opposed to proven ability. Aptitude testing is particularly relevant where organisations have competency frameworks, but represent considerable work to develop and maintain. Studies have shown that well constructed psychometric tests have a high correlation with the soft-skills components of behaviours.
