The David's Battery of Differential Aptitude is a scientifically constructed test that has been standardized and been used world wide for over lakhs of high School Student. By answering these questions, a career aptitude test can help you figure out your natural preferences and strengths. and then try match these preferences and strengths with various career options. Please remember that an assessment test cannot guarantee the perfect career - but it can be a great tool to use to narrow down your choices you might never have thought to explore! What all abilities will be assessed in this Test ?The David’s Battery of Differential Abilities (DBDA) – Revised latest version has been devised in order to have a measure of an individual’ various mental abilities. This Test is a standardized procedure for objectively measuring what a person is able to do. There are Seven abilities tested through this battery of tests. Verbal Ability refers to the comprehension of words and ideas, or a person’s ability to understand written language. It has been studied by the psychologists for many years and is one of the most important of human abilities. This ability can be expected to figure prominently in success in academic and school – related performances. Is it a predictor of occupations involving much reading and writing of reports, and so on. Numerical ability refers to facility in manipulating numbers quickly and accurately, in tasks involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division squaring dealing with fractions etc. NA is distinct from both reasoning and mathematical knowledge, and is with the more basic trait of facility and fluency in fundamental number operations. This ability is generally found high in individuals who are successful in mathematical, scientific, and technical subjects. It is a predictor of occupations involving computational tasks, such as various clerical, accounting, engineering, technological, data processing jobs, etc. Spatial Ability is concerned with perceiving spatial patterns accurately, and following the orientation of figures when their position in a plane or space is altered. This ability has been extensively studied over the years and has been seen as an indicator of non – verbal, or to some extent, culture – fair intelligence, since its dependence on acculturation and learning is minimal. In This test Series, Spatial Ability is assessed by items in which the subject must be able to determine quickly whether two dimensional figures have been merely turned around (rotated) or, they are turned over and rotated (reversed). Thus, Spatial Ability is a good measure of ability to deal with concrete materials through visualization. It is a predictor of Career involving figural materials, such as those dealing with shop work, architecture, building construction, engineering, commercial art, dress – designing, die – making, and decoration, etc. Closure Ability is primarily a perceptual ability measured by the DBDA Test adapted here. It refers to the ability to see quickly a whole stimulus when arts of it are missing, or to “complete the Gestalt”. The principle of closure has been adopted from Gestalt psychology, which says that the brain tends to fill in gaps in order to perceive complete meaningful forms. CA can be expected to be relevant to success in courses and careers, such as those concerned with office and shop work, architecture, computer programming and data processing, art and designing, etc. Reasoning Ability refers to the ability to apply the process of induction or to reason from some specific information to a general principle. Reasoning Ability scores are good indicators of non – verbal, non – culturally biased intelligence. This is one of the most important primary mental abilities in many tests of general intelligence. RA is important to success in many areas particularly those that stress logic, such as courses and occupations in mathematics or related pursuits, computer programming, engineering, sciences and scientific technology. Mechanical Ability refers to an under – standing of basic mechanical principles, simple machines, tools, electrical, and automotive facts. This factor can also be referred to as “mechanical Information” or “Mechanical Experience”, as MA score is dependent to a great extent on acquired knowledge and skills in such areas. The items in MA test tap information in all these areas. It has been found useful in the prediction of success in training and occupational performance in technical vocational areas.
