Highlands Ability Battery Self Management Tool
Whole Person
Abilities
People are happiest and perform best when their natural abilities are used to the fullest
Skills
The things you have learned to do well through practice and repeated use. Skills develop faster when they are built on natural abilities
Interests
Activities and projects that arouse your passion and concern – politics, gardening, music
Personal Style
The way you relate to other people – speech patterns, body language, social attitudes
Family
Your family history and relationships have molded and framed your life and your attitudes. Put it all in context
Values
The scales on which you measure your choices, options and decisions – how you measure good vs. evil, moral vs. immoral, wise vs. foolish
Goals
The ends or results you want most to achieve – how you direct your energies and efforts
Stage of Career
This moment in your life and how it relates to your past and your future
Abilities are different from skills – they come naturally rather than being learned
Your unique combination of abilities and personal style tells a story
Learning the language of abilities allows you to capitalize on your strengths and make better career choices
If ignored, you can land in mismatched roles or jobs
Intelligent and motivated people can work against their natural abilities, but they are rarely happy or satisfied doing so
Highlands Ability Battery• Research-based – over 80 years• Used in schools, businesses, education, government• Measure 19 different abilities of styles• Use worksamples – objective, performance-based
measures• More objective than self-report measures• Use of time limits separate natural abilities (which
takes less time effort and energy) from skills (learned, take more time to learn and practice to maintain)
• Results in a percentile ranking score – you relative to those in our database
