Answer:
Aptitude refers to an individual's underlying potential for acquiring skills. Aptitude tests are used to predict what an individual will be able to do if given proper environment and training. It is a combination of characteristics that indicates an individual's capacity to acquire some specific knowledge or skills after training. We assess aptitude with the help of selected tests. The knowledge of aptitude can help us to predict an individual's future performance. In order to be successful in a particular field, a person must have both aptitude and interest. Interest is a preference for a particular activity; aptitude is the potentiality to perform that activity. A person may be interested in a particular job or activity, but may not have the aptitude for it. Similarly, a person may have die potentiality for performing a job, but may not be interested in doing that. In both the cases, the outcome will not be satisfactory. A student with high mechanical aptitude and strong interest in engineering is more likely to be a successful mechanical engineer.
