This year we have replaced the Career Aptitude Survey with the Ability Profiler -- an upgraded computer-administered assessment designed to take full advantage of the psychometric, technical, and operational enhancements in the latest (paper-pencil) O*NET Ability Profiler.
The Ability Profiler includes six tests with a comprehensive view of the test-taker's strengths in five job-relevant abilities:

Verbal Ability |
|

| |
Spatial Ability |
|

In addition to these exercises that are computer-administered and scored, the Ability Profiler can accept manually entered raw scores from the mark-making and dexterity board exercises that measure motor coordination, manual dexterity and finger dexterity, resulting in a comprehensive report of an examinee's abilities.
Users can explore occupations that match their strengths and discover areas in which they may want to expand their training.
The Ability Profiler must be purchased separately if you wish to install it with Choices CD Edition.
Coming soon, the Ability Profiler will be available as an add-on, integrated assessment for Choices Planner.
