Research on aptitude testing for interpreting: A survey and introspection on Chinese MTI admission tests

To date, Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) education programs have been established vigorously since 2007. Scientific and rigorous aptitude testing, being the first and foremost step in an integral educational system, not only helps select the most trainable candidates, but also serves as a practical measure for training schools to cope with restrictions on manpower and financial resources. Although the screening of the most suitable candidates has been a prime concern to interpreter educators, there is a lack of consensus regarding what and how to test. We, therefore, conduct a questionnaire survey on general aptitude testing practice across different Chinese universities, specifically focusing on the content, form and effectiveness of each admission test to MTI education program, with the expectation to provide insight for interpreting aptitude testing research.
