Aptitudes with definitions

Introduction

The graphs in the report are simply a guide to help people determine which aptitudes to work on and which are important for your career goals. They should not be used for individuals to compare themselves to other people.

Aptitudes and Aptitude Sections

An aptitude is a readiness to develop and perform in a particular area. There are a total of 8 aptitudes assessed through 11 sections. Three aptitudes—Fluid Reasoning, Memory, and Processing Speed—are assessed in two different ways: image-based and text-based. Image-based sections involve direct visual perception, typically through images or shapes, while text-based sections use abstract representations, such as words or numbers. This separation allows for more targeted measurement of each aptitude and offers greater flexibility for neurodiverse learners, including those with visual or reading challenges.

Developing Aptitudes

Your aptitudes are shaped by both genetics and practice. Each aptitude’s report explains your current level of development and what it means, ways to keep building this aptitude, and related career paths.
