title: [Vocational aptitude and inclination--aspects of their assessment and evaluation in rehabilitation].
abstract: The task of appraising aptitudes and inclinations accompanies a rehabilitee and the rehabilitation workers involved for the entire duration of an occupationally-focussed rehabilitation measure. Explicitly so in vocational guidance measures, it aims at obtaining a sound basis for decision-making in view of vocational reorientation. Responsibility for this decision in the last analysis rests with the rehabilitee himself, an aspect that abolishes any strict separation of aptitude and inclination in predicting outcome in the context of occupational perspectives. Being the decision-making agent, the rehabilitee must therefore be offered typical situational fragments of a possible educational and vocational future, intended on the one hand to inform him of occupational alternatives and, on the other, to provide initial experience. The rehabilitation worker's role in this process requires a client-centered stance in terms of information provider and trusted agent, which is to help avoid an adverse exams climate evolve in this momentous decision-making phase. Psychological testing, from this angle, should be used merely as a supplementary means. The approach outlined for appraisal of individual potentials requires intensive teamwork, not least also in view of verifying individual capacity.
