Abstract
The author discusses the use of tests in order to examine the aptitude for conference interpreting in students, thus establishing which students have a natural propensity to listen, to understand and to convey an original message translingually. She discusses arguments in favour of tests and the development of tests at the Polytechnic of Central London.
