Why take our Aptitude Assessment?

Our process walks you through a self-discovery process that includes an objective assessment of your natural strengths. You will take the assessments online and the meeting to review your results will help you:

  • Discover your natural strengths and give you the words to describe them

  • Identify best-fit college majors or careers paths

  • Save you time and money by getting you on the right path

FAQ

  • How does it work?

    All of the assessments are completed online at your own pace. The entire process takes about 3 hours but can be completed over several short sessions. Once you've completed the assessment, you will schedule a time to meet with your consultant (in-person or virtually) to review your results and discuss next steps.

  • What if I fail?

    There is no failing this test! The tool we use is the Highlands Ability Battery, the gold standard for aptitude assessments. All scores provide us with information about how you are hard-wired. There is no inherent advantage to high scores vs low scores, it's knowing where your strengths lie that gives you the advantage.

  • Will you pick one career for me? What if I don't agree?

    Our goal is to provide you with the self-knowledge and tools to make career decisions rather than choose one for you. This isn't an online quiz that determines your career, but a collaborative process that incorporates your values, interests, and personality. Most clients find it helpful that we narrow down the field of career choices that are in line with their natural abilities.

  • Kai, student

    "This was an amazing and easy-going experience. It was not just your typical personality test or ‘what do u like’ quiz. It really challenged you in unique ways to show your strengths and weaknesses and how you process things. I really loved how personal this experience was!"

  • Laura, student

    I took the assessment to silence the "what if's" and become the best version of myself in a career that's best suited for me.
