Highlands utilizes the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB), a series of online work samples, as a resource to provide insight into your natural, innate abilities. Highlands testing is a battery of 19 objective timed work samples that you complete online. When you finish all the work samples, you will receive a customized report that reflects your abilities.

The HAB is unique in that it measures your abilities based on performance rather than perception. Exercises such as recreating designs from memory, manipulating blocks in space, and putting images in logical sequence are some of the virtual tasks you are asked to perform within a set amount of time. Results based on timed performance are far more reliable than results based on self-perception or personal opinion.
