AIMS is a nonprofit, tax-exempt research foundation which develops,
administers, and interprets aptitude worksamples. Studies show that the
mental traits measured by these worksamples are inherited, or else
determined so early in life that they do not change significantly after
puberty. While the basic purpose of AIMS is the scientific study of
human behavior based on accurate measurements, it has the larger, more
pragmatic goal of aiding youngsters and adults in planning a happier and
more successful future. As individuals are tested, information about
their traits becomes the primary source of data for the research
program. The knowledge derived from this research benefits AIMS program
participants who are making educational and vocational decisions.Many individuals in today’s society feel dissatisfied and restless
because they are in the wrong careers. These “square pegs in round
holes” may not recognize their true abilities or may not realize how to
use them. When discouraged men and women in their middle years discover
their aptitude profiles, they often find that their jobs have failed to
challenge their basic abilities. Full satisfaction with a job usually
requires a person to flex all his strong mental aptitudes.The final step in the AIMS program is the presentation of test results
and the interpretation of their significance. During the conference, the
meaning of each score and the significance of the overall pattern of
aptitudes are explained. Occupations that match the aptitude pattern are
presented. When appropriate, colleges and college majors are
recommended. Each examinee receives a copy of his scores, a report
explaining the major recommendations, and a booklet that defines AIMS
terminology.
Also
provided is a CD recording of the conference and a CD Manual, written by
AIMS staff members.
