In humans General Learning Ability is an aptitude, commonly referred to as the "G" score, defined as the ability to "catch on" or understand instructions and underlying principles; ability to reason and make judgements. Closely related to doing well in school. "G" score is often used by Vocational Rehabilitation evaluators and counselors as a factor for determining a person's likelihood of success in a two- or four-year college program. In assessments such as the U.S. Department of Labor's General Aptitude Test Battery (G.A.T.B.) and the Vocational Research Institute's Careerscope, a person's General Learning Ability score is determined by a combination of subsets of Pattern Visualization, Word Meanings and Numerical Reasoning.
