Which of the following is correctly paired in terms of selection test…

The correct answer is Option (3) → Personality Test – Measures emotional maturity and value system

• Option (1) Trade Test – Measures potential to learn new skills — Incorrect. A trade test measures the existing skills of a person: the knowledge and skill he has already gained through training and work. The potential to learn new skills is what an aptitude test measures, so the feature is reversed for the two tests.

• Option (2) Aptitude Test – Measures existing proficiency in a specific trade — Incorrect. An aptitude test measures a person’s potential for learning new skills. It shows his capacity to develop. Existing proficiency in a trade is judged by a trade test.

• Option (3) Personality Test – Measures emotional maturity and value system — Correct. A personality test gives clues to a person’s emotions, his reactions, his maturity and his value system. It probes the whole personality, which is why such tests are hard to design.

• Option (4) Intelligence Test – Pattern of interest — Incorrect. An intelligence test measures the level of intelligence, a person’s ability to make decisions and judgements. A person’s pattern of interest is found by an interest test.
