The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB)
is a gold standard, science-based assessment that measures your natural, hardwired abilities. It reveals how you are uniquely wired to think, learn, solve problems, and communicate. Unlike personality tests, the HAB focuses on what you can do rather than how you feel, offering deep, objective insight into your strengths. It is a powerful tool for students to gain clarity about their direction in school, career, and life.

For Students
This isn’t just another test. The HAB shows you how your brain is naturally wired—what comes easily to you, how you solve problems, how you learn, and what kinds of environments might bring out your best. Whether you're choosing classes, majors, or just figuring out who you are, this tool gives you a head start in discovering what fits you. Boost your academic and professional career by choosing classes and a college that objectively fit your strengths, not just what other people say you should do.
-
For Athletes
Unfortunately, athletic careers end for all of us, including the 98% of college athletes who pursue careers outside of athletics. The HAB helps them identify their unique strengths, decision-making and learning styles, and the kind of environments that will make work feel as fulfilling as the field was. Gaining this knowledge while still competing enables a smoother transition to life after sports. By understanding their inherent abilities, athletes can confidently explore academic and career paths that align with who they truly are.
-
For Adults
In today’s fast-changing world, where career paths and life choices are more complex than ever, the HAB provides clarity and confidence. It helps adults understand how they are uniquely wired, guiding them to make intentional decisions about careers and personal growth that align with their true potential. It reveals the environments and roles that will allow them to utilize their natural talents and abilities to their fullest extent. It helps leaders work in conjunction with their abilities, not against them, enhancing individual and team performance as a result.
