Aptitude Assessment
天資評定

Aptitude tests can help you figure out what your natural talents are. One may have an aptitude for math or writing or may have manual dexterity or good spatial abilities, for example. It is important to keep in mind that even if you have an aptitude for something, that doesn't mean you will automatically like it. When you are choosing a career, pick one that requires skills that you have and that you enjoy using.
