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.
