The Hilson Life Adjustment Profile (HLAP) measures specific psychological characteristics that may affect a person’s ability to function in a high-risk occupation. Symptoms related to emotional adjustment disorders, such as depression, paranoia, anxiety, concerns about health and/or suicidal tendencies, are identified.

The HLAP also includes items relating to an individual’s actual involvement in activities, social support network, and overall level of functioning.

Applications in the Safety and Security sector include conditional-offer selection and fitness for duty.

“We are now using the 16pf Career Development Report as a standard part of our executive coaching intake process. Our clients consistently find the report to be insightful and provocative. A discussion of the report invariably illuminates key areas of interest and concern and helps both client and coach focus and prioritize the coaching engagement. The Personal Career Effectiveness Considerations section of the report provides an ideal foundation for career planning discussions and developmental assignments.”
