Non-readers and readers. The functionally illiterate. The handicapped and Non-handicapped. The English speaking and non-English speaking alike.
Combine TAP with the most advanced computer program and you can evaluate each individual for all types of manual jobs ... high tech, low tech and every job in between. TAP provides instant correlation of an individual's demonstrated attributes with the many jobs represented in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (D.O.T.) and the occupational data of the Department of Labor (D.O.L.).
Testing That Makes Sense
The ten tests that make up the TAP use "real" tools and "real" tasks to measure an individual's functional aptitudes and strengths. TAP is a practical and proven way for you to provide "real" advice for your clients.

Fair Evaluation For All
The Talent Assessment Program does not require any reading ability. Instructions may be given in any format. Oral, written, signed, or simply demonstrated. This provides equal assessment opportunities to the blind, functionally illiterate, hearing impaired, lower functionally handicapped and learning disadvantaged, as well as, to the literate.
The norms applied to the TAP test results are also, non-discriminatory and apply to all groups. the TAP system uses one of the largest norming groups of any evaluation system, assuring a higher degree of reliability. The results are correlated both to the D.O.T., the Worker Groups of the Guide to Occupational Exploration (G.O.E.) and the occupational data of the D.O.L.

- A comparison of an individuals attributes to any job in the extensive TAP data base.
- A detailed analysis of specific jobs related to an individual's potential occupational areas.
