Types of aptitude tests

General aptitude test includes general aptitude test, special aptitude tests, mechanical aptitude test, creativity aptitude test and leadership aptitude test. General orientation test is what people usually call intelligence test. This is a test of general intelligence. It tests not a single intelligence feature, but a set of abilities, including memory, vocabulary, numbers and IZI head expressions.

In the intelligence test, the concept of "IQ" is used to express the level of intelligence: IQ is generally expressed in two ways: one is called ratio IQ and the other is called deviation IQ.

Ratio IQ is often used in children, and its calculation method is to multiply the ratio of intellectual age (MA) to actual age (CA) by 100. That is, the deviation IQ (IOD=(MA/CA)* 100.

Because intelligence does not always develop with age, it is obvious that IQ is not suitable for adults, so IQ is usually used to express the intelligence level of adults.

IQ assumes that the test scores of human intelligence are normally distributed as a whole, and IQflO is calculated by the average value 100 and the standard deviation 15. Then a person's IQ should be: IQ = 100+ 15. Special abilities mean that some people have abilities that others don't. Sometimes, due to the needs of jobs, some special abilities need to be tested in enterprise recruitment, and some psychological testing instruments need to be used to test special abilities. At present, many specialized aptitude tests have been formed and widely used in practice. Here is a brief introduction:
