There is more than one way to contribute.
People are drawn to different kinds of activity and contribution. They also have different capacities for working in particular domains. Multiple Natures helps you examine both—without reducing a person to a type.

Intelligences describe capacities for perceiving, processing, producing, generating, or coordinating action within particular domains.

A profile is a starting point, not a verdict
MNTEST is a 76-item pilot self-report instrument. It offers a provisional estimate of your Natures and Intelligences. The result is meant to be examined, questioned, and revised—not accepted as an unquestionable truth.
MNTEST is not an aptitude test, a diagnosis, a measure of career fit, or a prediction of outcomes.
