Aptitude and Ability Testing
 

Aptitude Assessment & Ability Testing 

Aptitude assessment and ability testing are an accurate and reliable predictor of a person's development potential - how quickly they can learn and retain new skills and procedures.  Thomas' ability assessment and aptitude testing predict a person's potential.


Thomas has developed two tools that can be used for aptitude assessment and ability testing, both measuring a person's fluid intelligence.  Tests for Selection and Training (TST) is a paper and pencil aptitude test whilst General Intelligence Test (GIA) is an online aptitude test.
 
Key benefits of aptitude and ability testing:

Why use aptitude and ability testing?
 
Academic achievement whilst undoubtedly playing  a large part in selection and decisions is not a truly effective measure of a person's mental ability and potential.  TST/GIA is an ability test rather than an intelligence test and includes a series of assessments such as reasoning, perceptual speed, number speed and accuracy, spatial visualisation and word meaning.
 
TST and GIA can provide answers to questions such as:
  • Can this person think on their feet?
  • Can they cope with the mental demands of the job?
  • Could this person be a high flyer?
  • Is this person a problem solver?  
  • To what degree can this person respond to training?
