Abstract
Measurement of interest/aptitude Introduction We see in our daily life that if one person wants to become a professor, then another likes to become a doctor, engineer or lawyer. Similarly, in school, where Pramod likes to study mathematics, Sheetal likes to study home science, Vinita likes to study music, Namrata likes to study political science, Jitendra talks about movies all the time, Sunil likes to dance, Ashok likes to roam around, Sapna remains lost in novels and stories, Santoshi does not get time to do anything other than gossiping and laughing. From this point of view, we feel that there is definitely something called interest in a person and in which individual differences are clearly reflected. If a person is interested in a work, then he will complete that work more successfully and easily, on the contrary, if he is not interested in the work, then he will soon get bored of that work and will leave it in the middle. Meaning of interest The word interest is the Hindi version of the English word "interest". The word 'interest' has been derived from the Latin word 'interest'. It means to establish a difference, to be important and to have attachment. Hence, on the basis of the meaning of the word, we can say that difference, importance and attachment are established in the stimulus through interest. Definition of Interest The tendency to like or be attracted towards an object, person, process, fact, work etc., to concentrate on it or to get satisfaction from it, is called interest. Interest has no direct relation with the abilities of a person, but the person gets more success in the tasks in which he is interested. Interests can be innate as well as acquired.
