We can accurately say that a proper assessment of your ability to learn should be done before you begin a learning course. Aptitude Aptitudes are not interests, and unlike aptitudes, interests can change. Aptitudes are natural abilities, and our research has shown that a person's scores remain fairly stable throughout his or her life. Unlike an IQ score, which is of little value in career selection, your aptitude test results form a pattern, showing your various strengths and weaknesses. Two people can have identical IQ scores but very different aptitude patterns. You would, however, have the same aptitudes at any age. Some high schools and colleges have made aptitude testing an integral part of career and educational guidance for their students. Reading Parents Ask, "How can I help my child improve their reading skills. If a reader has to stop and consciously identify a word the reading flow is halted and reading comprehension is lost. For successful comprehension, reading is a reaction not a thought process. Ideally the reader is free to think about what they are reading, not bogged down in the act of reading. There are many reading interventions that are designed to develop accurate word decoding skills but most of those interventions are not successful at increasing fluency of reading. Analysis of the pattern of performance is a very powerful tool used to identify a variety of reading problems that range from a general poor reading skill to inconsistent reading due to attention deficit problems. If you are uncertain of your skills and abilities or what you do well, you may want to take an aptitude assessment. An aptitude assessment measures your potential to learn the skills associated with different occupations. |
