What is an aptitude?
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 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 14.¹ Someone is good at something that is innate regardless of exposure.
We recognize that a person's aptitudes are part of their God-given design (see Psalm 139:13-14 and Ephesians 2:10). We also recognize because of our unique design and the free will He has given each of us, we have interests and desires (see Psalm 37:4). Therefore, our approach is to understand both aptitudes AND interests placing a greater weight on unchanging aptitudes. The CAOA uses 16 assessment activities. Of those, 14 assess aptitudes and 2 assesses interests. We have found this to be a good balance for discovering the career paths that best fit you.
What aptitudes do we assess?
The CAOA measures 9 aptitudes that are key to career performance: idea generation, numerical reasoning, spatial visualization, sequential reasoning, inductive reasoning, visual comparison speed, timeframe orientation, vocabulary, and work approach. The CAOA also includes five added optional brain games to let users assess their aptitudes for numerical computation, associative memory, hand-eye coordination, visual memory, and pattern memory, and amplify their career matches.
