Saturday (25/6), President Psychological Consulting (PPC) held an online event offering aptitude tests. These tests help to reveal three key aspects of the child, namely the personality profile, intellectual potential, and interests of the child. PPC is a psychological and consulting service unit under the President University Foundation (YPUP). PPC has a team of professional consultants and psychologists who are competent and certified.

In this activity, Maria Immaculata Pareira, S.Psi., Managing Partner at PPC conveyed the difference between talent and interest. Talent is the potential that a person has as innate since birth that still needs to be developed or trained to improve a skill and knowledge. "Talented person can learn at a relatively short time compared to other people, but the results are better," she said.

Meanwhile, regarding interest, Maria said, interest is an activity or task that arouses curiosity, attention, and gives pleasure or enjoyment. "Interest can be an indicator of a person's strength in a certain area where he/she will be motivated to learn and show high performance," she explained. Maria also added that this aptitude interest test is designed to measure a person's potential abilities (intelligence and personality patterns) in a particular activity within a specific time frame.
