The Comprehensive Ability Battery is a group of short, timed standardized tests that measure 20 primary abilities and basic skills. The tests identify an individual’s various talents that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The tests in each battery may be used individually or in combination for selection, placement, and career counseling applications.
