Personality assessments are rapidly becoming a best practice for selecting and developing talented employees. Data from the assessments produce easy-to-read reports that contain recommendations for hiring and development. Our clients then use these insightful reports to make decisions regarding the selection and development of employees.
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
The Bright Side of Personality
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) is the industry standard for measuring normal personality; it has a 25-year history of successfully predicting employee performance and helping companies reduce turnover, absenteeism, shrinkage, and poor customer service. It was the first inventory of normal personality based on the Five-Factor Model and developed specifically for the business community. The Hogan Personality Inventory identifies the bright side of the personality – what we see when people are at their best and feeds into the Leadership Potential Report.
Through an ongoing program of research and development, the Hogan Personality Inventory continues to be the industry leader. The inventory has several unique features:
- A business-related measure of normal personality
- Designed to predict occupational success
- Useful reports available for employee selection or development
- Developed exclusively on working adults
- Normed on more than 500,000 working adults worldwide
- Validated on more than 200 occupations covering all major industries
- No invasive or intrusive items
- No adverse impact
- Fully Internet enabled
- Available in multiple languages
- Different characteristics are important for success in different jobs, and characteristics that are important in one job may interfere with performance in others. The Hogan Personality Inventory evaluates people on seven well-known dimensions or characteristics that influence occupational success. Hogan Assessment Systems delivers the results of the Hogan Personality Inventory in several interpretative reports. The reports provide detailed HPI graph with definitions of the seven dimensions.
Hogan Development Survey (HDS)
The Dark Side of Personality
This identifies 11 patterns of dysfunctional interpersonal leadership behaviour that erode trust, loyalty and enthusiasm. They are of particular concern in relation to managerial and leadership roles.
These career derailers – deeply ingrained in personality traits – affect an individual’s leadership style and actions. When under pressure, most people will display certain counterproductive tendencies or risk factors. Under normal circumstances these characteristics may actually be strengths. However, when an individual is tired, pressured, bored or otherwise distracted, these risk factors may impede effectiveness and erode the quality of relationships with customers and colleagues. The Hogan Development Survey identifies tendencies that are often referred to as the dark side of the personality – what we see when people are stressed.
The Hogan Development Survey assessments provide valuable feedback for strategic self-awareness, which is the key to avoiding the negative consequences associated with these tendencies. The Hogan Development Survey is the only business-related inventory that measures these dysfunctional behavioural patterns.
The inventory has many unique features:
- Designed to predict barriers to a successful career
- User-friendly reports available for selection or development
- Concerns characteristics not covered by the Five-Factor Model
- Developed exclusively on working adults
- Normed on over 10,000 working managers
- Validated in over 50 Fortune 500 organisations
- No invasive or intrusive items
- Is not a medical exam
- No adverse impact
- Fully Internet enabled
- Available in multiple languages.
The Hogan Development Survey is an interpretative report and feeds the Leadership Challenge Report. The report provides a detailed HDS graph with definitions of the eleven dimensions and also provides the following information:
- Insights about the candidate’s behaviour that could potentially undermine or inhibit performance
- Suggestions for leading more effectively
- Identifies factors that detracts from the candidate’s ability to perform as a leader
- Pinpoints risk factors that may impede effectiveness and erode the quality of relationships
- Scale-by-scale interpretation of scores
- Developmental recommendations for high risk zones
- A graphic report of the candidate’s assessment results
- A summary of the leadership challenges and provides ideas for moderating them.
The Hogan Development Survey provides detailed information about derailing, disruptive, or dysfunctional tendencies – such as arrogance and passive aggression – that impede a person’s ability to work as part of a team, and may ultimately block career advancement.
