    Intelligence: basic IQ

    Aptitude: a test to assess potential skills in eg computer programming, or languages.

    Proficiency: how good you are at certain tasks eg typing or operatinf Excel.

    Psychometric testing is a generic term measuring brain function. Eg IQ tests are psychometric. However, the term is often used to refer to personality assessment. Eg would the person be a good leader or does he/she show creativity, or socialability.

    Psychological tests really means the same as psychometric.
