Aptitudes are Your Advantage in Career Planning

The best advantage for students and adults is to learn how to use their natural strengths, or aptitudes. Aptitude is the potential to learn a work skill quickly and easily.

Aptitude CloudWe are each unique. Different aptitude patterns fit different skills, tasks, and careers. This information is very helpful when evaluating career options and college majors.

Aptitudes are recognized as providing essential information for career planning. Unfortunately, they are not typically included in the standard career assessments. Why?

The different measurements in an aptitude battery take more time and work to complete than an opinion-based survey.

That is because they are a composite of individually-constructed and timed tests designed to objectively measure potential in specific abilities (such as reasoning styles, creativity, memory, and spatial strengths). We are not very accurate in estimating our own aptitudes. The time invested in an objective picture saves time and money and improves confidence in career planning.

The expertise necessary to interpret an aptitude profile is more complex, requiring richer experience.


There are not many professionals skilled in their interpretation and knowledgeable about how different ability profiles “fit” different career pathways. That is our specialty.

Career Vision uses The Ball Aptitude Battery® (BAB™) developed by The Ball Foundation. As the service and consulting arm of the Foundation, Career Vision staff are experts in helping clients and families understand and make the most of their natural abilities. Our goal is for our clientele to be successful and happy.
