Orientation at the Division Level
16
 This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in
the NCAE administration. But due to budgetary
constraints only one representative per school is
authorized to attend--either the SH or the STC.
However, a 100% attendance is imposed for the
school representative. Sanctions should be meted for
non-attendance.
 Hence, a mechanism should be devised so that all
testing staff are properly oriented; one of which is
orienting all the teaching force in the school by the
SH/STC to be ready on exam day in case there will
be shortage of REs in other testing centers.

AN INVENTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL INTERESTS
Potentials/Inclinations of Students Based on NCAE Results
C lerical A bility (C A ). This is a test of ability and skill to encode
data/information and file office records, as well as ability to note details. High CA
is the requisite skill for secretariat jobs for these jobes require good manual
dexterity; thus individuals with high CA are potential computer operators.
encoders, and stenographers.
Visual M anipulative Skills (VM S). This subtest measures abilities that
require perceptual and visual judgment in determining figures, symbols, and
nature of space as well as skills in mentally manipulating objects and concrete
materials. M anipulative skills are required in occupations such as machine
technicians, jewelers, watchmakers, engravers, handicraft makers, and the like.
N o nverbal A bility (N VA ). This tests a person's reasoning ability to identify
patterns presented in diagrammatic form. The series of figures presented in each
item requires the perception of an operating principle underlying the changes in
the figures. In each instance, the examinee must discover the principle's
governing change/s of the figures and give evidence of his understanding by
indicating the diagram that should logically follow. It tests abilities required in jobs
such as engineering, science, architecture and any other jobs which involve
working with diagrammatic and similar visual information.
Lo gical R easo ning A bility (LR A ). This measures an individual's ability to
understand and analyze complex written material and derive correct conclusions
from it. Those with high LRA are likely to succeed in courses which require high
analytical/critical thinking skills like law, economics, theology, social science and
medical allied professions.
Scientific A bility (SA ). This is an assessment of the individual's
scientific abilities and skills to adopt scientific methods, procedures and
processes constructing knowledge and solving experimental or real-life
problems. One who has high SA has greater probability to excel in academic
programs that work mostly on scientific methodologies (e.g. medical allied
professions). Those with average SA can be successful in the field of
chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, biology, and other courses related to
R eading C o mprehensio n (R C ). This measures the ability to
understand what has been stated directly; to anlayze, interpret, and criticize
what has been read; to recognize reasonable application of principles or
opinions expressed by the author. A student with hig RC has the potential
to make sound inferences, syntheses, generalizations, or conclusions on
what he/she read. Students who possess the skills will most likely succeed
in courses that involve public speaking and even writing such as mass
communication, teaching, theology, and law.
Verbal A bility (VA ). This subtest measures the assertive ability of a
person in view of grammatical rules and logical arrangement of ideas.
Individuals with hig VA have high sense of analogy; hence, they have
potential in mass communication, law, teaching, and preaching vocation.
Those with average VA can be developed in advertising careers.
M athematical A bility (M A ). This subtest is used to assess
quantitative abilities and computational skills, particularly, on working with
numbers, perceiving relationship between two quantities and solving word
problems. One with high M A has high sense of mathematical calculus, a
