Used in education and workforce settings.
MNTEST is not only a personal assessment. It has been used where people are making decisions about study, training, employment, and client support.
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
MNTEST shows you two things: the kinds of work your mind naturally moves toward, and the ways you take in and process information. The first is your Nine Natures — what kind of problems, situations, and needs pull you in. The second is your Ten Intelligences — how you actually think. Together they give you a picture of who you are, not a type to fit into.

After the test
MNTEST shows you what kind of work you're built for. It doesn't show you what your current job is doing to you — that's a different question, and it's what the MN Situation Map is for. The Map takes what MNTEST finds and looks at your actual situation: what's working, what's wearing you down, and where you could go. The result is a written report, not just a score.
How MNTEST is different
Most assessments stop at the person. They name a type, trait, strength, or preference, and the result starts to feel like an identity. MNTEST is built to keep that from happening.
It returns a profile across the Nine Natures and the Ten Intelligences, then leaves the situational question open: where does this shape actually fit, and what kind of work will call it forward?
