Testimonials

“We spent over $100,000 on our son’s education and when he graduated he did not have a clue what he was going to do or even what he was really good at. The small investment in the natural abilities testing made all of the difference. After the feedback session he felt great about who he was, and had a clear direction of where he was going.”

Parents – High School Graduate

I can’t believe how accurate this test was to identify who I was and how I thought. It was very liberating because I always felt I had certain talents and abilities, but did not know what they meant or how to express them. I now have a clear direction for uni, and several career options.

The test helped me understand myself better and how to make the most of my abilities. It has given me better insight into a career path and has made me feel more confident.

Max – Year 11 student

We always knew our son was intelligent, but school was a struggle for him and really affected his self esteem. The test results identified where his unique abilities were, especially in creativity and design, and also his best learning channels. He felt really good about himself after the feedback, had a great last term in year 12, and is doing well in his first term of University.

The Ability Battery was so accurate. The two-hour session with the Highlands Ability Counsellor was very helpful in analyzing the results…it gave me more insight into specific career options and gave me career advice and career guidance I need to evaluate.

participant, Cisco Systems Program

The feedback process was amazing, it made everything so clear. I felt like you were my fortune teller, and I wanted you to stay longer and longer to tell me more about myself. I have learned so much"

From personal experience, this skill-based assessment is head and shoulders above Myers-Briggs, DiSC, FARO-B and others that ask you to respond to questions and pick the answer – I really value the many dimensions that it explores, and have found it to be an excellent tool for career planning.

Graduate student in Organizational Psychology

It’s really interesting to read and discuss all the information Highlands discovers about you from the tests they give you. I would recommend it to everyone for help in choosing a career, making a university selection and picking a uni major and uni curriculum.

18-year-old university student

For me to tell you all I learned from this program would take a lifetime. I learned how I learn best, how to deal with stressful situations, what my natural abilities are, and what career choices my abilities are geared towards. At the same time, they emphasize that career planning, career decisions, and career changes should not be based entirely on these results.

17-year-old high school student

We have a better understanding of our individual abilities and talents, but also the strengths of others on the team. It helped us to see what some individuals bring to the team that others don't. I think it has helped us to use the strength of our diversity in styles and worktypes. It has helped us all personally, but also helped our leadership skills and how we work together in team building.

HR vice-president, major company

This was absolutely one of the most amazing processes I have ever gone through. It has taught me how to be a more effective leader and to understand my strengths and weaknesses.

Corporate Executive

When I took the Highlands Ability Battery™, it was as though someone who really knew me had looked inside to see what was driving me. They were able to translate what I was experiencing into words that made the picture clear. What they were seeing was the fire inside me and what fed the fire and what suffocated it.

Mel Rosche

The Highlands Battery literally defined my abilities for me. I learned what my talents were and why I used them in certain ways. It was that information that enabled me to grow my business without the fear that I didn’t have the know-how. It also helped me to develop my enjoyment of fine art.

Marcia Weber

Our son indicated he had an interest in engineering, but he was also good at a lot of other things so we were not sure what was best. After completing the Natural Abilities Specialist process it confirmed his abilities for engineering and helped us to focus on a plan going forward.
