Take a Look at Your Brain
The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) is an assessment of your abilities or natural talents. While we don’t know where our abilities come from, we do know that they stabilize during childhood and can be measured. We also know that people feel most satisfied in how they spend their time if they are employing there abilities to their fullest. When someone begins to identify their abilities they will recognize the “why” behind many of the things they do like brainstorming, procrastinating, job boredom, how they communicate, and problem solve.
The Highlands Ability Battery is a 3-hour electronic assessment that is taken online. It is made up of 19 objective work samples or tasks. 30+ pages of reports will show the unique scores of the individual and explain implications. Different reports are available for students, adults, and leaders. Interpretation can be done one-on-one or in a group, in person or on skype. The reports include information about how to most effectively approach:
Learning
Problem Solving
Communicating
Optimizing Work Environment
With Highlands there is no such thing as passing or failing. Every person has a unique combination of abilities and patterns of abilities. Being high in a particular ability is only advantageous if a job or activity requires that ability be used.
Highlands results can improve self management (career/job selection, job design, work-life balance) and relationship management (interpersonal dynamics, team dynamics, and leadership). Since abilities do not change over the course of ones life, the results of an individuals HAB reports will continue to be useful at each life turning point. In this way, the HAB is like having the unique opportunity to take a look deep into your own brain and better understand how you thrive.
