These tests assess the major aspects of the participant’s personality, such as whether they’re more extraverted or introverted, how openly they communicate, their level of agreeableness, how conscientiously they behave, and any neurotic tendencies. Abilities – Personal strengths and weaknesses with respect to certain tasks are the focus of aptitude tests.

The results may demonstrate that the test taker has highly developed verbal reasoning skills, excels at technical tasks or is very artistic, for example.
