Abstract:

First published as a Special Issue of Interpreting (issue  10:1, 2011) and
complemented with two articles published in Interpreting issue 16:1, 2014,
this volume provides a comprehensive view of the challenge of identifying and
measuring aptitude for interpreting. Following a broad review of the existing
literature, the array of eight empirical papers captures the multiple
dimensions of aptitude, from personality traits and soft skills such as
motivation, anxiety and learning styles to aspects of cognitive performance.
The populations studied, with experimental as well as survey research designs,
include students and professionals of sign language interpreting as well as
spoken-language interpreting, and valuable synergies emerge. While pointing to
the need for much further work, the papers brought together in this volume
clearly represent the cutting edge of research into aptitude for interpreting,
and should prove a milestone on the way toward supplying educators with
reliable methods for testing applicants to interpreter training programs.
