General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB)
...an occupationally-oriented multiple-aptitude test
SUMMARY
Range: Grades 9 to Adult
The GATB is used extensively in Canada in vocational counselling,
rehabilitation, and occupational selection settings. The GATB profile
of occupational aptitudes can be used to determine appropriate career
and/or training paths.
The GATB measures nine distinct
aptitudes using 12 separate tests (eight pencil and paper tests, and four
performance tests):
- G - General Learning Ability
- V - Verbal Aptitude
- N - Numerical Aptitude
- S - Spatial Aptitude
- P - Form Perception
- Q - Clerical Perception
- K - Motor Co-ordination
- F - Finger Dexterity
- M - Manual Dexterity
The GATB may be used in a variety of ways to achieve the objectives
you have set for your ability testing program:
- To determine the full range of aptitudes for groups and/or specific
individuals (the entire test would be administered in this situation).
- To measure the individual's aptitudes and relate them to already specified
occupational preferences only (the aptitudes related to these preferences
would be tested).
- To provide relative scores in a number of different aptitude areas;
information that is highly useful in educational counselling (the test
would be administered in its entirety or in the specific areas of interest
to the counsellor).
GATB test results assist counsellors in matching aptitude levels
appearing in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Career Handbook.
The GATB can also be used in conjunction with the interest levels found
in the Canadian Work Preference Inventory (CWPI) to assist in determining
appropriate career paths.
Minimum Qualifications to Purchase the GATB:
- M.A. Psychology or M.Ed. with at least 3 courses in testing and related
subjects such as statistics, individual differences
OR
- Successfully completed an approved GATB training course
AND (in either case)
- Member of an organization with a code of ethics covering assessment
practices
