The Strong Interest Inventory tells you what draws a person in. The Highlands Ability Battery tells you where they are naturally equipped to do the work well.
The Highlands Ability Battery measures natural abilities through timed exercises across nineteen areas — identifying which kinds of tasks come quickly and effortlessly, and revealing strengths a student may never have had a name for. Used together, the Strong Interest Inventory and the Highlands Ability Battery provide a complete picture: interests and abilities, pointing toward where a student is most likely to thrive.
Smart Explorations are led by Bonnie Stewart, a Smart College Selection consultant with 25 years of experience as an educator and a Harvard Ed.M. in Language and Literacy. Bonnie holds certifications in both the Strong Interest Inventory and the Highlands Ability Battery — a combination that is rare in the independent educational consulting world.
