  Abstract  
 

Though vocational aptitude tests have been conducted, elementary school children cannot take most of tests because of lack of knowledge. If they can conduct vocational aptitude tests, it brings many benefits. Even if they receive the result that they do not have the quality for a job, they can get the quality in future by making effort from an early stage. In this paper, we propose a method to extract vocational aptitude with a virtual space. We use a virtual space to implement a vocational aptitude test system, which makes elementary school children enjoy the test. In this method, the system extracts vocational aptitude values from operation logs. Specific evaluation equation is provided for every aptitude. For usefulness inspection of the proposed method, we implemented aptitude test system assuming an example of the home-delivery service job experience. We have applied the system to 15 people. As the result, all extracted aptitude values have correlation coefficient more than 0.4 with the result of CPS-J, which is one of widely used vocational aptitude tests.
