Understanding Assessments You are not required to take any assessment, however research has shown that when people go through an assessment program the benefits are dramatic. They experience less stress, a greater match between their jobs and their talents, a greater connection to the company they work for and greater balance and overall well-being in their lives. Described below are some of the assessments we may use to create a career plan. Highlands Ability Battery™ Natural Abilities – everyone is born with natural abilities. Natural abilities are not influenced by education or experience; they are just there to be harnessed and developed. There are no grades and no good or bad results. Each exercise measures a particular aptitude -whether you prefer concrete tasks to abstract problems. After the Assessment, you will receive a 30-page report that describes your results. This report will help you find the answers to many vital questions. You will understand:
After you have received your report, we will schedule a feedback session. As highly trained coaches certified and licensed in the Highland Ability Battery, we are extensively trained to discuss your abilities as they relate to your school life and career. This process is the foundation for developing a long-term career strategy. No matter who you are or what stage of your education you are in, you can count on your Ability Profile to be a practical, objective way to provide you with direction and focus. You will gain knowledge that allows you to make practical decisions about educational choices and career options. The Print Assessment Everyone has a dominant Print - their "major" Print, and also has a "minor", or secondary Print. In fact, people have elements of many Prints. No Print is better than any other. Every Print has its own spectrum of behavior - both positives (Best-Self) and negatives (Shadow). It is up to each individual to decide if they want to spend more time in their "Best-Self mode" and reduce their Shadow behavior. Studies have shown that increasing Best-Self behaviors results in better performance. Each person operates from his or her own perspective...their Print is their view of the world. By learning to tune into other's Prints, as a member of a team, in personal relationships, with other executive or managers, you can connect with them from their perspective and thus be able to communicate with them in a way that might not have been possible before. Prints allow us to gain incredible insight into why others do what they do. They also allow us to know how best to be "heard" and received by others. The real power of Prints comes about when we apply the Print Strategies to unleash the full human potential that lies within each of us. We can achieve levels of performance, productivity and success that would otherwise not be attainable. We can impact many facets and dimensions of our lives with Print Strategies. We can impact: Our own personal growth and development Prints allow us the opportunity to see the reality of who we are - our natural gifts and contributions to the world as well as our challenges and barriers to becoming our "Best Selves". Print Strategies can show us how to bring out the best in others, in ourselves and in our relationships. Print Strategies are the evolutionary blueprint to unleash our full potential in every facet of our lives. To schedule an assessment or receive more information contact us at:

The Highlands Ability Battery (THAB) is a series of work samples that measure and define a person’s natural abilities. This is not a "test" in the traditional sense of the word. You are asked to do something in each work sample. How easily you complete a work sample defines how "naturally" the underlying aptitude comes to you.
"Prints"™ can be thought of as the DNA of personality. They determine our view of the world - why we do what we do, why we are who we are. They explain how we react and how we relate. Prints are at the core of what motivates us and what drives us crazy.
