ABOUT HOGAN’S ASSESSMENTS

Hogan Assessments were developed to assess personality and thinking ability, and there are several different pre-employment assessments produced. Hogan Assessments was founded in 1987 by Drs. Joyce and Robert Hogan, and the assessments were the first to scientifically measure personality for businesses. Hogan Assessments are predictive – which means they look at the potential performance of a candidate, based on their working style, attitudes, problem-solving skills, values, strengths and weaknesses.

TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS

There are five different Hogan Assessments used as part of the recruitment process, and they are usually used to look for leadership potential or for higher-level roles. The tests are:

Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)

Designed to measure normal personality, or what is known as bright-side personality. This is the way you behave and respond to normal, everyday scenarios.

Hogan Development Survey (HDS)

Assesses what is known as a dark side personality – what happens to your work behaviour when things go wrong and you are under stress.

Hogan Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI)

Assesses your ability to make reasoned decisions based on different types of data, and is similar to other aptitude tests.

Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)

Designed to look at what drives you, what motivates you, and what core values you have. It is designed to demonstrate to employers what type of job and at what level you are suitable for, and the type of work environment that you will thrive in.

The assessment is administered by an accredited Syngrity facilitator followed by generation of your report. The facilitator will then take you through a detailed 1:1 debrief (approximately 90-mins session) around the outcomes of the assessment and how to leverage these insights to improve business results, and design individual developmental plans. The assessment can also be used for longer Executive Coaching Journeys
