Can we also get some kind of tests which indicate if we have the aptitude to be a good or exceptional tester ? (motivation for this question is here Reasons to leave the testing or QA career)

You could create a new post to ask exactly that

This is great! I’m a new hire for a company and a new QA Engineer so these resources will be invaluable. I was seriously wondering where to start

[heather_reid]

Excellent @stephennb! Be sure to check out the Essentials category here on The Club too, a great place to get you started
