Frequently asked questions
What are aptitudes?
An aptitude is an individual’s natural ability to learn or perform in given areas. Aptitudes are not the same as interests, personality, or learned skills—which are all environmentally dependent and change over time. For example, someone can’t be interested in something they’ve never been exposed to, but aptitudes are innate and solidify around the age of 14. People are innately good at some things regardless of exposure.

What is an aptitude assessment? What is a career assessment?
An aptitude assessment is an exam that evaluates a person’s natural abilities, strengths, and potential areas for improvement. These tests cover many types of aptitudes to provide a comprehensive understanding of a person’s potential.

How is the Aptitude & Career Discovery assessment scientifically-backed?

The assessment results identify best-fit career matches for each individual regardless of race, gender, or life exposure.
How does knowing my aptitudes help me?
