Aptitude is a natural ability or talent for learning or excelling in a particular area, often measured by tests of potential rather than acquired skill. It also refers to a person’s potential or suitability for a given task or role, encompassing both innate capacity and the tendency to develop skills with training. In contexts, it can describe inherent competence or a field-specific propensity. More broadly, it implies readiness to learn and perform well.
