Used in education and workforce settings.

MNTEST has a history of use in settings where people explore decisions about study, training, employment, and client support. That use history does not by itself validate the current instrument or predict outcomes.

Greater Raritan One-Stop has used the Multiple Natures framework with career-center clients since 2019. SOS Children's Villages India has used the work since 2012, with more than 10,000 children reached to date.

SOS Children's Villages India is also undertaking a longitudinal study to examine job placement outcomes and the role MNTEST may have played in student success.

What it returns

Your results show a pattern across all nine Natures and all ten Intelligences, based on your answers. You explore that pattern in conversation, checking it against examples from your life and revising the profile where needed.

Profile

Your pattern across all nineteen.

Your Nine Natures profile

Your ratings across Protective, Educative, Administrative, Creative, Healing, Entertaining, Providing, Entrepreneurial, and Adventurous. Look for tendencies that recur across different activities and parts of your life.

Your Ten Intelligences profile

Your ratings across Gross Bodily, Fine Bodily, Interpersonal, Logical, Linguistic, Graphic Visual, Spatial Visual, Musical, Intrapersonal, and Naturalistic. Explore what you can do in each area, including capacities you want to develop.

The two together

You can compare what you are drawn to with what you are able to do. This can help you explore why some activities interest you, where you use your capacities, and what you might want to learn.

How it works

1

Request access. Tell us you’d like to take MNTEST through the contact form.

2

Answer from your experience. Think about how you tend to act and what you can do, using examples from your life. There are no right answers and no time limit.

3

Explore your profile. Review your results with a practitioner. Look at what fits your experience, what surprises you, and where a rating needs another look.

Putting your profile to use

Bring a question you want to explore: what to study, how to develop a capacity, or how to make better use of your Natures in your current work. A practitioner can use the MN framework alongside their coaching approach to help you examine the options in your circumstances.

Reading your results

A useful reading connects scores with concrete examples. Look at what recurs across different activities and times in your life. When a result seems surprising, explore it with your practitioner and revise it if the examples do not support it.

Decisions about a job, course, or life change also need your skills, interests, responsibilities, resources, and available options. Your profile helps you explore those decisions; judgment comes from considering the whole situation.

What the scores can tell you

MNTEST reflects how you answer questions about yourself. It is not a direct test of aptitude or a diagnosis, and a score alone cannot establish career fit or predict an outcome.

Use the results as a starting point for exploration. Check ratings against experience before using them to inform a decision.
