What are Aptitude and Career Tests?

An aptitude test is a standardized assessment designed to evaluate a person’s natural talents, cognitive abilities, and potential to succeed in specific tasks or careers. Unlike academic exams that test acquired knowledge, aptitude tests measure innate strengths such as logical reasoning, problem-solving, language proficiency, numerical ability, and spatial visualization.

At Psychowellness Center, West Delhi’s trusted mental health and career guidance hub, aptitude testing is conducted by expert psychologists to help individuals, especially students and young professionals, make informed decisions about career paths, educational choices, and personal development.
