I strongly feel it doesn't. Sitting in a room, under pressure to perform and due to time limitations, writing a test (any test) does not reflect the true potential of anyone. End of it all, you get a number and you are qualified to go places or doomed to hell.
There are various ways to assess. Some examples.
Give an Arts student one year to provide a portfolio of artwork. The students can choose their own subjects, visit museums, talk to professors etc. A set of teachers make constructive observations about the artwork after one year.
Give a computer science student a real life problem/case study (e.g Managing payroll globally). Give the student one year. A set of teachers makes constructive observations on the completed project after one year.
Give a history student one year to research on the administrative system under British Raj and how the administrative system has evolved for the better or worst. A set of teachers makes constructive observations on the completed project.

not necessarily. An aptitude test is taken in an unfamiliar environment in the presence of people unknown to the child. The tests may be easy to complete but the child may fail to complete them coz of stress, fatigue, boredom, other priorities, illness as well as many other external factors. An aptitude test is not 100% fool proof review of a child's skills at any time!

Not really. Several tests need to be taken for that.
Just to note: potential is just potential - unless tapped, success cannot be obtained. Altitude is 10% Aptitude and 90% Attitude.

Not by themselves. You need to have a series of testing done. As the brain has many different and unique functions that are not all measured the same way. It can give you an idea as to which direction to go but the best bet is an all around series of testing done. From memory, to hand eye control, verbal, and cognitive. When you measure all of these it will show the most information. Good luck
