Your Career Fit Score
Preference Isn't Ability
You just rated the work you prefer — the activities you want more of, in the conditions you work best in. The Highlands Ability Battery measures something different: the abilities you're built with. Preference and ability don't always match, and the gap between them is where bad career moves come from.
Your Career Fit Factors
A closer look at the eight factors that may support or undermine satisfaction in your career.
Your Work Alignment Profile
Your preferred ways of working compared with what your job currently provides. This self-report does not measure natural abilities.
Discover Your Natural Abilities
The preferences above are a starting point — but preference isn't ability. You can love work you're not wired for, and be wired for work you've never tried.
The Highlands Ability Battery settles the question by measuring 19 natural abilities directly, through performance — not self-report. It is included in the Oxford Career Change Program ($497, with a 30-day money-back guarantee). Through most providers, the Battery alone costs $450–$600.

Does This Mean You Should Change Careers?
No single score can tell you whether to stay in or leave a career. Use these results to separate issues that may be improved within your current field from patterns that may be worth exploring in a different career direction.
