Measured together, because each one alone misleads. Interest without aptitude leads to enthusiasm, then frustration. Aptitude without interest: can do it, but is bored. Both, with the wrong personality fit: exhausted by the day-to-day work.
| Ability | What it means | Example task | Careers that use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning (most important) | Spotting patterns and solving new problems logically | Complete a pattern or logic puzzle | Every course and career; the strongest signal of how well a student will learn |
| Numerical | Working with numbers and data quickly and accurately | Number series; quick calculations from a table | Engineering, finance, accounting, data, economics |
| Verbal | Understanding and using words and ideas | Choose the best word; read a passage and infer | Law, teaching, media, management, civil services |
| Mechanical | Understanding how machines and physical systems work | Which way will the gear or lever move? | Engineering, technical trades, aviation, manufacturing |
| Spatial | Picturing shapes and objects in space | Rotate or unfold a shape in the mind | Architecture, design, surgery, engineering drawing, animation |
Six interest types and the work that matches them. Most people are a mix; the report shows the top two or three letters.
| R Realistic (doers) | Engineering, trades, agriculture, defence, sports |
| I Investigative (thinkers) | Science, medicine, research, data, technology |
| A Artistic (creators) | Design, architecture, media, writing, performing arts |
| S Social (helpers) | Teaching, counselling, healthcare, social work, HR |
| E Enterprising (persuaders) | Business, management, law, politics, marketing |
| C Conventional (organisers) | Accounting, banking, administration, operations, audit |
How a student typically behaves. It helps match the work environment, not only the subject. Every trait is a range, not good or bad.
| Openness | Curious, imaginative, enjoys new ideas and variety |
| Conscientiousness | Organised, dependable, plans ahead and finishes what they start |
| Extraversion | Energised by people, comfortable leading groups |
| Agreeableness | Co-operative, caring, prefers harmony to competition |
| Emotional stability | Calm under pressure, recovers quickly from setbacks |

English or Hindi, whichever the student is more comfortable in.
A computer or laptop, stable internet, 70–80 minutes without interruption, water, and a pen for rough work.
Instructions and practice questions come first. The aptitude sections are timed; the interest and personality sections have no right answers, so just be honest.
Generated as soon as the test ends. Nothing to study, no pass or fail.
60–75 minutes, one to one, with a trained counsellor.
