From dated experience in researching the mechanism and use of simulation in aviation, and then use of simulation involving pilot judgement and ability, I urge care in seeking guidance on pilot aptitude.
A danger is that with vast amount of data available from modern computers (simulators) you turn the soft people skills into numbers. You judge aptitude numerically opposed to qualitatively.
Too much focus on the data may result in a measure of an ability to fly 'a simulation' of a particular aircraft, in specific scenarios, and judging task execution - outcome, opposed to ability - process. Not what they achieved, but how they acted and their confidence in this and the future.
Situation choice is partially influential as this could represent the researchers biases and expectations more than rate the subjects character - a quality which can be related, but not measured.
'Select for Attitude, Train Skill' - aptitude ?
Consider the perspective of who is being rated and whom is judging (relate to 737 Max issues):-
