Aptitude Tests
These tests measure the aptitudes of the students.
These tests, identified and reviewed by the project experts, should be used by teachers and school counsellors to support students in the identification of their aptitudes.
In this context an aptitude can be defined as a component of a competency to do a certain kind of work at a certain level, which can also be considered "talent". Aptitudes may be physical or mental. Aptitude is not developed knowledge, understanding, learned or acquired abilities (skills) or attitude. The innate nature of aptitude is in contrast to achievement, which represents knowledge or ability that is gained through learning.

Type of test:Website of the TestName of Author(s):Language/s of the tool:Description:Many early theories suggested that self-esteem is a basic human need or motivation. During school-aged years, academic achievement is a significant contributor to self-esteem development. A student consistently achieving success or consistently failing will have a strong academic effect on their individual self-esteem.
The modest correlations between self-esteem and school performance do not indicate that high self-esteem leads to good performance. Instead, high self-esteem is partly the result of good school performance.
A 10-item scale that measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. The scale is believed to be uni-dimensional. All items are answered using a 4-point Likert scale format ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
