FAQ'S
: Individual Clients
Q:
How do your services differ from those offered
on The Highlands Company web site?
A:
In addition to taking The Highlands Ability
Battery, you will also take other assessments
including
the Expanded Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI)
which provides an in depth review of your
personality
type. All of your assessment
results are used when The Highlands Potential
Indicator (THPi™)
is prepared for you.
This report and your assessment results
are discussed with you in a 2-hour
feedback session.
You will be given a copy of your report along
with an audio-taped copy of your
feedback session.
Q:
How do your services differ from other
Highlands Company licensees?
A:
Many other Highlands Company affiliates offer
The Highlands Ability Battery as part of their
psychological
practice. We differ
from them in that we include the Expanded MBTI as an
integral part of your report to
make recommendations
based on both your natural abilities and your
personality type.
Q:
How do I schedule my assessments?
A:
The Highlands Ability Battery and the MBTI are
available to you online through the internet.
You can take
them at your convenience, 7 days a
week, 24 hours a day. When you are
ready to register with us, we will
provide, in an
email sent to you, all of the information needed to
register and complete the assessments.
It
is then up to you to take the assessments at your
convenience.
Q:
What if I’m not able to take the assessments
over the internet?
A:
We can arrange for you to take the assessments
in an office located in the Northern Virginia area.
We will
have our trained professional meet with
you and facilitate the assessments using the
paper-version of both
The Highlands Ability Battery
and the MBTI.
Q:
How long does it take to complete the online
version of the assessments?
A:
The Highlands Ability Battery takes
approximately 3 hours and the MBTI takes approximately
30 minutes.
If you are unable to
complete either assessment in one sitting, you are
given the opportunity to return to the
web site and
complete the assessment at a later time.
Q:
When is my feedback session scheduled?
A:
As soon as you have completed the assessments,
we will prepare your report. Once
it is prepared, we
will contact you to schedule your
feedback session. This usually
takes no more than 1-2 weeks depending
on your
availability. Our goal is to meet
the clients’ needs in providing our services.
Q: With
whom and where do I meet for my feedback session?
A:
We have four consultants that currently provide
feedback to our individual clients. The
feedback sessions
can be scheduled in person or by
phone, depending on your location and what’s
convenient for you. We can
arrange
for the feedback session to be held in an office
location in Northern Virginia, but will also,
to the
best of our ability, offer other locations to meet
individual client requests.
Q:
Do you provide ongoing counseling or coaching
after the initial feedback
session?
A:
Yes. Most clients find that
the testing and initial feedback is all that they
need. This information gives
them
the foundation for the next steps in their career.
For those who would like additional coaching or
counseling, it is available at an hourly rate.
Q:
Are you associated with job placement
organizations or head-hunters?
A:
No.
FAQ’s:
Corporate Client
Q:
I am very busy. How long will this take?
A:
We have developed a user-friendly process that
fits in beautifully with most busy schedules.
All the
assessments are taken
online at your
convenience. You are not required
to complete all the assessments
at one time.
If you choose to do them all at once, it takes
approximately 3 ½ hours.
Q:
Who will get my assessment results and how will
the results be used?
A:
The results belong to you and the information
is kept confidential. Your feedback
coach will advise you
how to share this information
with your boss or whoever is your corporate sponsor.
Q:
I am not changing careers. How
will this help me?
A:
The report is customized to your situation and
specifically identifies strengths and areas of
challenge in
the specific areas of leadership
effectiveness, problem-solving and decision-making,
emotional quotient,
reasoning abilities, teamwork, and
your current role at work.
Q:
Who are your typical corporate clients?
A:
Young emerging leaders, managers moving into
broader spans of control and senior executives.
Q:
What happens after the feedback conference?
A: On-going
coaching is highly recommended. During
the feedback conference, areas for development
are
brought to light. The client is then able to
generate an action plan that is targeted and realistic
based
on objective data that was derived from the
assessments.
