The FACT battery is used for selection, placement, reclassification, and vocational counseling. It offers 16 individually sold tests. These tests can help assess an individual's aptitudes for industrial positions and help measure important skills.

The Examiner's Manual contains norms and tables for educational and industrial samples.
