How Assessments and Reports Work

AptitudeCheck uses structured questions and tasks to support career, study and personal exploration. The sample question and example report on the homepage are demonstrations, not an assessment result.

Choose the right assessment

Cognitive Abilities uses reasoning tasks to explore logical, verbal, numerical and spatial performance. Career & Skills uses your responses to explore work-related interests, strengths and preferences. Study & Career helps identify study and career areas to investigate. Each assessment’s introduction describes its scope.

Questions, processing and reports

The assessment service processes your answers and may adapt the question path. The software can use AI-assisted question generation and interpretation. Automated content can contain errors or overlook your circumstances. Do not put passwords, identity documents, medical details or other unnecessary sensitive information into free-text answers.

Reports organize available response evidence into themes, suggested pathways and practical next actions. A suggestion is a starting point for research, not a decision made on your behalf. Related skills are ideas to investigate; the report should show a numerical skill score only when one is supplied by the assessment result.

What a percentage means

A task accuracy percentage describes performance on the tasks presented. A match or signal percentage summarizes a score supplied by the assessment service. These percentages are not population percentiles, probabilities of success, professional certifications, or proof that a career is right for you. Differences between percentages should not be treated as precise predictions.

No official IQ score or diagnosis

The Cognitive Abilities report is descriptive. AptitudeCheck does not present it as an official, population-normed IQ test. Results are not a medical or psychological diagnosis and should not be used alone for hiring, admission or other high-stakes decisions. Familiarity with a task, language, timing, interruptions and accessibility needs can affect performance.

Turn results into evidence

Choose two or three suggestions that interest you. Compare actual daily tasks and entry requirements using local education providers and occupational sources. Try a small project, speak to someone in the field, and consider cost, location and responsibilities. Review the result against that evidence; disagreement with a suggestion is useful information.

Saving and privacy

The Reports page stores report copies in your browser. Download a backup if you want to keep a separate copy or move devices. Clearing browser storage can remove local progress and reports, but does not itself delete records held by the assessment service. See the Privacy Policy.
