The Highlands Ability Battery^TM

I am excited to announce that I am now certified as a Highlands Ability Battery^TM feedback consultant.

The Highlands Ability Battery^TM is a state-of-the-art assessment tool that  objectively measures a person's innate abilities. The results can then be used very effectively as a coaching tool for people who are making decisions about career choice, career  transition, college choice or life transitions .

What I like about The Highlands Ability Battery^TM is that it taps into different types of abilities such as spatial abilities, design abilities, music abilities, reasoning abilities, and others. By isolating each ability, the battery often reveals previously undiscovered talents.

This is different than most 'tests' in that it does not measure learned materials. You cannot prepare for it. It consists of eighteen different tests that measure a specific ability. There is no pass or fail. All scores relate to a person's unique ability pattern rather than finding 'good' or 'bad' scores.

I find that the tests identify how a person naturally works best and where the innate talents lie. Knowing and understanding those abilities is the first step in creating a  personal vision for a person's education or career. It is equally effective with students as well as with adults who want to assess their natural abilities and maximize them.

The Highlands Program was founded in 1990 by Bob McDonnald, Ph.D. and Don Hutcheson with the intent of finding objective tools to help evaluate a person's innate abilities.
