| rasches Auffassungsvermögen ability to grasp new concepts quickly
Explanation:
Is this a reference or letter of recommendation? Then maybe something along the lines of: his ability to grasp new ideas/concepts quickly means that he rapidly adapts when taking on new responsibilities/tasks.
Only a 'Rohfassung' but it might help...
