While in school, were you and your classmates ever given an aptitude test, and what became of the results?

When I was in Jr. High, about 1972 or so, my entire 8th grade was given an aptitude test. We assembled in the gym for it.
I assumed I’d score highest in literature or sociology. I was very surprised to find out that I’d scored the highest, at 98%, in engineering. I remember those engineering questions, too. The were such no-brainers, in my opinion, that they seemed absurd.
Well, I never heard another word about my results. I don’t know if anyone else did, either.
On FB, a friend said she had taken an aptitude test in the 90’s, and was told she didn’t have a chance in science, which is where she scored the highest.
What is the point of even taking the tests if no one follows through?
