APTITUDE

Aptitude means ability or particular skill or a potential. While intelligence is a

measure of general ability, aptitude is a special ability. It is a special ability such as
mechanical, musical, artistic, scholastic or religious. Aptitude is neither completely
inborn nor acquired. It is the outcome of both hereditary and environment.
Aptitudes are talent potentials but can be improved by training in environment.
The word aptitude is derived from the word aptos which means fitted for.
