Career Ability Test

Unlike other assessments, the career ability test applies an objective measurement of an assortment of work tasks. Objective assessments eliminates the problem of subjective tests — “second guessing” your answers. With an objective Career Ability Test, you are not asked to select from your point of view (subjective) between a set of choices, but to complete tasks. Your capacity to perform a task determines the degree to which you have a specific ability.

Each ability is described in terms of its aptitudes, capacity to perform, possible work or work roles, related education, skill sets to develop and so on. Combinations of these abilities which are provided by the best aptitude test- THAB only- supply you with even more information, such as your ideal work environment, communication style, on-the-job learning style, problem-solving/ decision-making style as well as known transferable skills. Therefore, the best career aptitude test can be used as a work ability test, leadership ability test.
