...difference, physical, intelligence, mental, perception, and aptitude, mechanical. b) A brief outline of theories of trend and jung 1. Study of individual difference, physical, intelligence, mental, perception, aptitude, mechanical. *Individual difference in the organization Human behavior is complex every individual is different from other; the challenge of an effective organization is the successful matching of the task in the organization from editor to Reporter. Under ideal situation, an editor would first analyze the task, then determine the required skills and assemble a team that complement each other skills; there by creating an enriching and conflict free team. In reality, a manager has to use the existing resources for a given task, and must have the ability to understand the difference in individual behaviors and use them appropriately to increase the synergy (outcome). In order to understand individual behavior and personalities, it is important to understand the basics of cognition. Cognition: Cognition is the thought process in humans that describe how the information we constantly acquire is transformed, stored and used as knowledge in further decision making. It includes a wide range of mental processes like visual imagery, language, problem solving, decision making etc. Abilities of a person are the natural or learnt traits. Human variability, or human variation, is the range of possible values for any measurable characteristic, physical or mental...

...Aptitude From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the Debian software, see Aptitude (software). An aptitude is a component of a competency to do a certain kind of work at a certain level, which can also be considered "talent". Aptitudes may be physical or mental. Aptitude is not knowledge, understanding, learned or acquired abilities (skills) or attitude. The innate nature of aptitude is in contrast to achievement, which represents knowledge or ability that is gained.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Intelligence 2 Combined aptitude and knowledge tests 3 See also 4 References Intelligence[edit] Aptitude and intelligence quotient are related, and in some ways opposite views of human mental ability. Whereas intelligence quotient sees intelligence as being a single measurable characteristic affecting all mental ability, aptitude refers to one of many different characteristics which can be independent of each other, such as aptitude for military flight, air traffic control, or computer programming.[2] This is more similar to the theory of multiple intelligences. Concerning a single measurable characteristic affecting all mental ability, analysis of any group of intelligence test scores will nearly always show them to be highly correlated. The U.S. Department of Labor's General Learning Ability, for instance, is determined by combining Verbal, Numerical and Spatial aptitude subtests. In a given person some are low...

...United States Army – Recruitment, Training and Compensation The United States Army serves as the land-based branch of the U.S. military. It is the largest and oldest established branch of seven U.S. uniformed services. The Army reports to the Department of Defense and is made up of three components: the active component, the Regular Army; and two reserve components, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve (U.S. Army, 2012). Both reserve components are made up of part-time soldiers who train once a month. Battle assemblies conduct two to three weeks of annual training each year. Regardless of component, the Army conducts both operational and institutional missions. The operational Army consists of numbered armies, corps, divisions, brigades, and battalions that conduct full spectrum operations around the world. According to the U.S. Army website, its primary mission is "to fight and win our Nation’s wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and conflict in support of combatant commanders” (2012). This includes preserving the peace, security and defense of the United States and its Commonwealths, possessions and occupied areas; supporting national policies; implementing national objectives; overcoming any nations carrying out aggressive acts against the United States; and accomplishing missions assigned by the President, Secretary of Defense and combatant commanders. Institutional Army organizations provide the infrastructure...

...focuses treatment on both the physical and spiritual needs of patients. In fact, it is intent on ensuring that the patient achieves whole body wellness, and not only disease management. As such, it advances the concept that for healing to be complete, the physical needs should be addressed in concurrence with the patient’s spiritual and emotional needs. With regards to the spiritual needs, the concept draws ideas from the Bible. For instance, 1st Corinthians 12:9 clearly indicates that human beings were given the spirit of healing to meet spiritual needs. To achieve this goal, the concept applies three principal components to include, adopting loving care as a culture, meeting physical needs, and an integrated work technology and design. On the other hand, the concept is faced by challenges that hinder its effectiveness and efficiency (Chapman, 2005). This paper discusses the components and difficulties of a healing hospital as a daring paradigm. As earlier indicated, a healing hospital has three principal components. This is because it lays emphasis on the healing environment, ensuring that care provision is not limited to medication and medical procedures, but also to how the patients and their families are involved in the process of treatment. In essence, the concept introduces a new paradigm whereby the body is believed to constitute a spirit, mind and physical form that must be taken care of before the body can achieve wellness. The first component is adopting compassion and...

...study of the mind which is complex and is the source of thought and behaviour. It is scientific and examines individuals, their mind and their behaviour, and attempts to understand and explain thought, emotion and behaviour (Wilhelm Wundt 1832-1920). Individual Differences Vast Variation among biological populations inspired the formulation of Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection. Individuals are different and in fact unique based on a number of variables such as:- voice, skin tone, disposition, ethnicity, stature, attitude, physical symmetry, trainability, intelligence, aptitude, extroversion, introversion, sex, gender, neuroticism, expressiveness, memory, creativity, conscientiousness, agreeableness, values, beliefs and so on. The intelligence of the individual varies greatly. Intelligence (which is also referred to as Intelligent Quotient and Cognitive Functioning) concerns the mental ability to learn, the application of knowledge, aptitude - the ability of rational thought, and the capability of abstract thought. It involves also the memory of the candidate (J.P. Guilford’s Structure of Intellect Theory – 1967). Through...

...CHAPTER 3 SELECTING AND USING ASSESSMENTS Introduction This chapter will address three issues: (a) the institutional assessment needs of workforce development organizations, (b) the assessment needs of individual youth to help make informed choices about their careers, and (c) the practical needs of practitioners for information about how to select and use different assessment tools. At the end of this chapter, Exhibit 3.1 contains information that can be used to help with the selection and use of assessments, including a directory of commonly used published tests. Meeting Institutional Assessment Needs Agencies and organizations in the workforce system use assessments to meet institutional needs in two ways-to determine a youth's eligibility for services and to document achievement of program goals by assessing the progress of program participants. The number of participants served and achievement of program goals can impact the amount of funding an organization receives. Funding for the youth programs considered in this guide may come from the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, other federal agencies, states, local governmental agencies, or a combination of these. Table 1.2 in Chapter 1 summarizes the eligibility and assessment requirements of IDEA, WIA Title I, and the Rehabilitation Act. More specific information on assessments mandated or permitted by several federal funding sources may be found in Appendix A. (Mandated assessments are...

...the right genetic material that puts him a cut above all the rest in terms of mental and physical skills. The catch is that Jerome Morrow is really Vincent Freeman, an "in-valid" with defective genes, who has managed to infiltrate the elite space agency by faking his identity---right down to the nucleic acid level. Vincent routinely obtains blood, hair, and urine samples from the real Jerome Morrow (Jude Law) to pass identification and screening tests. The real Morrow is not able to realise his potential since he was crippled in an accident, and therefore needs Vincent as much as Vincent needs him. Throw in some sibling rivalry between Vincent and his "valid" brother, a murder sub-plot, and a love interest for Vincent, you end up with Gattaca. The story is essentially about how Vincent overcomes the programming in his in-valid genes and competes against the best in the "valid" world. The scientific premise, like in most science-fiction movies, combines a mix of truth and fiction. In the movie, the alleles from parents are so chosen that the combination produces the optimal arrangement in terms of the child's genotype. But we know enough right now to realise that even in situations where there is a great degree of genetic predisposition, it is quite probable that that predisposition (positive or negative) is never realised. For more complex behavioural traits such as intelligence, aptitude test results would be a far better indicator than genetic makeup. In other words, any correlation...

...Environment Science Environmental Science is a study of how different components of the environment transmit through physical and biological components. Environmental science covers various methods of studies in the fields of Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Geography through the education of environmental systems. (Carson, 2002). Science and technology affects the issues in our society, for example, the experiment of human cloning has brought controversy and society became skeptic. Environmental awareness among the communities has grown in the past decade, when it became known that human actions were damaging to the atmosphere. The role of Science and Technological investigation in protecting the environment has also grown. Investigation established the situation of the environment to human well-being as well as the financial, societal, and artistic harm that can stalk from deprived environmental performs. Study has recommended habits to control harmful study without experiencing extreme costs. For instance, technical and manufacturing examination has delivered cost-effective habits to reduce the contamination in air and safety of a healthy aquatic life everywhere. There is no doubt that Science and Technology has recognized the areas, which are most valuable to the human civilizations and has assist to reserve natural ecologies. Several concerns of science and technological areas of which are important, where the research is going on in the field of environmental...
