The Highlands Ability Battery Assessment - What are your Natural Abilities?
Whether you are starting the college admissions process or considering a career change, knowing your abilities is a crucial element. We use the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) Assessment to help clients discover their natural abilities, (aptitudes) and strengths. This can reveal important clues as to the kinds of learning environments, academic subjects, and potential careers that are well-suited to build on those aptitudes.
​
"The HAB is a standardized assessment in aptitude testing developed under a rigorous process to ensure accurate results. The Whole Person Model empowers clients to realize the relevance of their natural abilities and life experiences to their career development and provides a rock-solid foundation for lifelong consideration of career options."
​
Not all independent college counselors are able to administer this assessment, but Journey Forward Counseling is proud to have a Highlands Certified Consultant for over 15 years. Michelle is 1 of 8 Highlands Consultants in Washington and 1 of 7 in Minnesota. The HAB is considered one of the highest quality aptitude assessments and has been in use since 1992.
