Aptitude waa awooda dhaxalka ah ee lagu qabanayo noocyo shaqo ah ha ahaato mid horumarsan ama mid aan horumarsanayn. Aptitude waa aqoonta horumarsan, fahamka, barashada ama awoodaha (xirfadaha) ama dabeecadda. Dabeecadda dabiiciga ah ee kartidu waxay ka soo horjeedaa xirfadaha iyo waxqabadka, kuwaas oo matalaya aqoonta ama awoodda lagu helo barashada. Sida laga soo xigtay Gladwell (2008) iyo Colvin (2008), inta badan way adag tahay in la kala saaro waxqabadka aadka u fiican ee sabab u ah hibo ama ka soo baxa tababar adag. Dadka hibada leh sida caadiga ah waxay isla markiiba muujiyaan natiijooyin sare noocyada waxqabadka, laakiin inta badan kaliya hal jiho ama hal nooc. Su'aal: Waa maxay imtixaanka awoodda shaqaalaha?
