这是morris test里的5个能力选项。
Verbal
This assessment measures the ability to use words and indicates potential in
dealing with verbal information, whether written or spoken. High scores can
indicate a comfort in reading, writing, and speaking. Careers which need this
ability include areas where verbal communication is important. Areas in
media, advertising, teaching, law, journalism and sales. A relatively strong
score can suggest a preference for learning in a more traditional way,
through books, discussion and attending lectures.
Numerical
The numerical assessment measures how comfortable you are when working
with quantities and numerical information. High scorers tend to have an
insight into numerical relationships and, if this is their dominant ability, they
may be inclined to adopt a logical, quantified and calculated approach to
problem solving. They may have a preference for weighing up the pros and
cons of any given situation which may lead them to appear rather objective
and perhaps even a little less compassionate as a result. A high numerical
score would indicate a preference for work in fields where numerical,
quantitative analysis is key. Areas in finance and commerce could be well
suited; such as banking, insurance, accountancy, trading, logistics, surveying
and the like. Many areas in science and technology, including IT, may also be
well suited to this type of analytical approach.
Abstract
This assessment measures the ability to deal with complex problems
presented diagrammatically. Those with a relatively strong score on this
measure may show a preference to view the world directly or through
diagrammatic representation rather than through the medium of words or
numbers. This can lead to a preference for dealing with real things and visual
information such as charts, diagrams and pictures. High scorers appreciate
the physical relationships between things and if it is their dominant ability,
may well prefer learning through direct observation and personal experience,
rather than through discussion or through verbal or numerical descriptions. As
such, they might be more comfortable with demonstrations, and experiential
learning in preference to a book-based approach. This type of ability is linked
with many technological and scientific areas, as well as directly practical
pursuits. Engineering, construction, sciences, agriculture, transport and design
all involve working with the physical world directly in line with this type of
ability.
Spatial
Spatial ability is the capacity to appreciate and mentally manipulate the
spatial relationships amongst objects. With this measure, the task was to

move 2-dimensional objects in a 3-dimensional space. This ability is
particularly important when working with distances, orientations, and the
physical relationships between objects, in other words their positioning. It is
easy to imagine how this type of ability is important for architecture and
design, but it is also important when it comes to planning or controlling the
physical positioning of any objects, be they electronic components on a chip,
or aircraft at an airport. Those with relatively strong spatial ability may be
more concerned with the relationships between individual items rather than
on the items themselves, giving them a holistic or strategic focus.
Mechanical
Like Spatial ability, this is related to the real physical world but instead of
looking at how items are positioned relative to one another, mechanical ability
focuses more tightly on how different components interact with one another.
This is the world of levers, cogs, wheels, momentum, as well as physical forces
- gravity, friction, tension and spring. These are the interactions that reflect
why our world behaves as in the way it does. The assessment does not require
any specialist knowledge and a high score indicates an ability to identify and
predict how these various elements will interact and to predict the outcome.
This type of ability is useful in areas concerning the interactions of
components. Engineering, technology and construction are the obvious
examples. People whose mechanical ability is stronger than the spatial may
be more focused on the interactions within a single component than the
overall layout. As a result, they may seem to have a detailed, serialist
approach to solving practical problems |
