Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) Practice

A latent talent refers to an ability that exists but has not yet been fully realized or developed. It implies potential that is not actively utilized or demonstrated. The focus is on the idea that this talent may be present within an individual, ready to be tapped into as they gain experience or training. In this context, the term “undeveloped skill” captures the essence of a latent talent, emphasizing the unused or undiscovered aspect of one's abilities. The other options do not accurately describe what a latent talent is. A developed skill suggests that the talent has already been honed and is actively proficient, while a hidden ability implies that the talent is concealed but not necessarily underdeveloped. Similarly, a random skill does not convey the understanding of a talent that is inherently linked to one’s potential, as it implies a lack of purpose or pathway for development.
