Need help in planning a satisfying and fulfilling career or with choosing a college major? The best career assessment and planning begins with knowing who you are, what abilities you were born with, and what your Personal Vision is for your future. The Highlands Company publishes the Highlands Ability Battery, an online abilities assessment that goes farther than any other instrument to define your natural abilities and begin your career assessment. Virtually all other career assessments depend on your self-reported responses to questions.
The Highlands Ability Battery measures your hard-wired and natural abilities and leads to a sound career assessment. Based on the pioneering studies of Johnson O’Connor, it is a three-hour inquiry into abilities and ability patterns and clusters.
The Battery consists of nineteen worksamples. Two intensive reports are provided that help the individual understand his natural abilities and the careers that would best capitalize on his patterns of abilities. Interpretation is supplied in a two-hour personal consultation in a small group setting with me. Once these patterns or “clusters” are understood, the individual is helped to guide his life and career into more productive and satisfying channels.
This assessment and these open enrollment groups are appropriate for high school juniors, seniors, and college students trying to make the best decisions about a college major and career, for young professionals who have already earned their degrees and are not happy in their work, and for mid-life and older adults feeling the need for a new career direction.
The Open Enrollment Groups are a brand new offering from CareerWorks360 and provide the opportunity for individuals to assess their natural abilities and make effective career and/or college major decisions in a small group format at an extremely reasonable rate ($250.)

It's great to see CareerWorks360 highlighting the Highlands Ability Battery's focus on measuring hard-wired natural abilities, moving beyond self-reported assessments. This distinction is critical, as truly understanding innate strengths provides a much more stable foundation for long-term career planning than subjective self-perception. Beyond natural abilities, a truly fulfilling career path often deeply integrates with an individual's core values and ethical framework. For those exploring how their internal compass guides their professional journey, exploring resources on understanding personal values and ethical frameworks can be incredibly insightful.
It's so true how you highlighted the often-overlooked difficulty in truly understanding one's own strengths and interests when contemplating a career shift. Many people get stuck not because of a lack of opportunities, but from a lack of clarity about what genuinely aligns with their core values and aptitudes. This internal compass is crucial. While recognizing this internal struggle is the first step, practically identifying those core values and aptitudes can still feel overwhelming without a structured approach. For those looking to gain that clarity and explore options based on their unique profile, resources offering personalized career guidance can be incredibly helpful.
