Highlands Ability Battery

​The Highlands Company has discovered the formula for self-discovery by looking at a person’s eight factors that make up their whole person.  Included in those 8 factors is discovering one’s innate abilities.

The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) is an assessment that measures aptitudes that stabilize around the age of 14. These aptitudes are generally not modified by practice or training. This assessment is a life-changing experience that can direct a person’s choices in school and work. For students, it’s about helping them use the knowledge about their natural abilities to pick the right major and the right fit college environment. It is also about self discovery.  Are they ready to live away from home and manage their own lives?  What tools will help them be more successful and what areas should they be watchful of?
​
Another added benefit of participating in the HAB is to give students and their parents a common language to talk about what the student is good at.  This may be a switch for some families where discussions might have been about what they are not good at. Instead of using words like procrastinator or quirky, with Highlands, the consultant can get rid of those labels and find positive terms to describe the student.
​
The sooner your child is tested, the sooner he or she can take advantage of the insights the test provides into good study and learning habits, as well as into the selection of the right college and career.   A college’s learning environment is determined by its size, the size of its classes, the ratio of faculty to student, its housing arrangements, the size and scope of its library, its eating arrangements, etc.  Most critical is the college’s commitment to a particular program of study, the breadth or specificity of offerings, and the options available through campus student services that will best support your student's learning. The HAB reveals how your child learns best, which helps direct your child to the right school and learning environment.
