  What are Aptitudes?

  Aptitude is an individual’s innate or acquired capacity, capability or talent for something. Appropriate knowledge of these aptitudes combined with knowledge of one’s interests, ability and achievement can give us a comprehensive picture of an individual’s possible success and satisfaction- be it school or work. This information can aid in choosing the right fields for education and career.

  Did you know?

  * Your aptitudes have little to do with knowledge, culture, education or interests. They have to do with one’s heredity.

  * It is an inborn potential to do certain kinds of work whether developed or undeveloped. These aptitudes may be physical or psychological. Being right-handed or left-handed, and seeing colors normally are stable, inherent traits that are familiar to most people.

  * An aptitude test does not test knowledge; it is not a test for which one can study.

• Issues in Career Selection & Planning

  The importance of aptitude for career selection and career planning has been ignored since a long time. During the earlier days as well as the present times, there are many ways that students follow to choose a stream. *Sometimes as per parent’s suggestions or decision, sometimes because their friends have chosen that subject, sometimes they make their own choice based on the limited information they have. *Then there are the two types of students when it comes to making decisions on career selection: the ones who follow their passion and the others who join the rat race of engineering/medicine and for the rest there is commerce/arts. None of these are the right way.

  As career planning is an ever-changing and evolving process and this feeling of being unsure –“What to do with my life?” or The indecisiveness- “whether to study or work?” can be traumatic. Thus, for finding your career passion, career direction or developing strategy for transition from current study/job to next, you need to take it slowly and easily. Whether you are a student searching for the right higher education program or your first job, one of your primary goals should be to empower yourself. For empowering yourself and setting realistic goals and objectives, you must first free yourself from the three main barriers:

  1. Family Pressure: Expectation to join the family business, suggestion to join a career that they feel is right for you, avoid certain careers that they feel is below your status level and so on.
  2. Personal Barriers: This has more to do with one’s Attitude towards life in general, such as laziness, lack of motivation, want to enjoy life and so on. All of these can bring one to a dead end when it comes to succeeding in life, be it personally or professionally.
  3. Peer Pressure: often thoughts such as- My friends are doing it, so I should too! …My friends are doing it so why can’t I? can induce fear of not being in the rat race.

  Removal of these barriers gives you a better idea of your aptitudes, attitudes and interests as they relate to possible career choices and help you to achieve your career goal.

• Career Planning Steps
