Each assessment focuses on specific areas, such as abilities, emotional intelligence, personality, motivations, and interests. Together, we determine which one is right for you.

EQ-i 360-Degree Emotional Intelligence Assessment
The Emotional Quotient 360 (EQ-i 360) is an Emotional Intelligence assessment that allows you to assess yourself and receive feedback from peers, managers, and direct reports. The 360-degree process provides you with a balanced and well-rounded understanding of how others view your skills and behaviors, which has an overall impact on your personal and professional success. Through this process, you will develop a customized development plan enabling you to implement a well-thought-out plan for development.Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

- where they primarily focus their energy
PRINT® Why of You
Everyone has core motivations that drive their actions and behaviors. PRINT®, created by The Paul Hertz Group, reveals what these motivators are and clarifies what is needed to bring out people’s best. PRINT® is a valuable guide to creating success and revealing what can be done to face and overcome important decisions and challenges including career exploration.
Every PRINT® exhibits Best Self, Shadow Behavior, and Triggers. Career Requirements/Role Alignment information will be made available when appropriate. The goal of the Why of You® program is to teach people how to diminish the frequency of Shadow behavior and increase the presence of Best Self. Shadow is people’s automatic response to the stressors in their lives. A person’s professional and personal environment plays a role, as well as their level of self-awareness.
By taking the assessment you will..
- Identify factors that need to be in place for you to be fulfilled and successful
- Understand how you view things, how you respond to people and situations and what you need to be satisfied and at your best
- Uncover core needs that must be met in order to find a fulfilling career
- Learn how you “show up” when your core needs are met and what you might look like when the core need is not being met, what brings out your best and worst, and what you should try to minimize and maximize in your career
PRINT® is a 10 to 15 minute statistically validated, highly accurate online instrument.
Knowing what really motivates you is not the same as knowing your strengths and interests, talents, and skills which other career assessments reveal. The information has the power to transform a highly speculative event like job search or career choice decisions into a predictable format where you know what is going to fulfill you and where you can have confidence that your choices will allow you to perform at your peak.
“When a person’s core motivations are not being satisfied by a career or job, it’s a pretty sure bet that fulfillment, engagement, and success will be compromised.” The Paul Hertz Group

Strong Interest Inventory®
The primary purpose of the Strong Interest Inventory is to help individuals match their interests with occupational and educational choices.
To develop occupational classifications, John L. Holland proposed six basic categories of occupational interest. In our culture, people can be categorized in these six themes:
- Realistic – practical, physical, hands-on, tool-oriented
- Investigative – analytical, intellectual, scientific
- Artistic – creative, original, independent, chaotic
- Social – cooperative, supporting, helping, healing/nurturing
- Enterprising – competitive environments, leadership, persuading
- Conventional – detail-oriented, organizing, clerical
In theory, all possible combinations of six themes can be established and we review the top two together. These environments allow people to use their skills, interests, personality and take on problems they find satisfying and avoid responsibilities they do not prefer.
The Strong Interest Inventory is a psychometrically sound instrument, is administered online, and takes approximately 20-40 minutes to complete.

The Print: The Why of You assessment was so accurate. The report’s contents provided me with a “career requirements” page that shows what I need at work to be fulfilled and how to use my strengths and gifts. From the checklist, I was able to see what I need to feel energized and be successful. I was skeptical but now I’m a believer. I would not have known how to use that assessment without Andrea’s guidance and expertise.

The Highlands was a refreshing break from the usual career aptitude tests. The game-like structure of the test kept me interested and competitive throughout each section of the assessment.
The debrief with Andrea helped me comprehend my results in ways that other assessments have not done. I now have useful information about my future and my brain that I had not considered. Thanks to Andrea and the team at the Highlands Company for allowing me to grow.
