Assessments I Like:

Highlands Ability Battery
One way to dispel the myth that practicing law is the only thing you can do is to take an assessment to identify your natural abilities.  I found it to be an eye-opening experience.  I learned what my natural abilities are and also learned the importance of using them in my daily life and work.  For more details, go to www.highlandsco.com.
