Hogan

Hogan challenged decades of academic tradition and criticism to become the first to demonstrate personality impact on organizational success, pioneering the use of personality assessments to improve workplace performance.

Founded in 1987 by Drs. Joyce and Robert Hogan, Hogan leads the world in personality assessment and leadership development. With products and services in 56 countries and 47 languages and is the industry leader serving more than half of the Fortune 500.

Hogan assessments are grounded in more than three decades of validated research and were the first to measure employee personality for business scientifically. Thirty years later, they are committed to the same spirit of innovation that helped them become the industry leader.

Inspired by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made discrimination illegal in the hiring process, the Hogans were dedicated to developing non-discriminatory personality assessments. The Hogan assessments allow employers to eliminate any potential bias based on gender, ethnicity, and race as part of the selection process.

Discover your personality . . .

Bright Side

The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) concerns the bright side of personality — the everyday characteristics that influence a person’s ability to get along with others and achieve career goals.

Whether you want to better understand and leverage your bright side to become a stronger leader, find the right hire, or develop other leaders in your organization, the HPI provides valuable insight into how people work, how they lead, and how successful they will be.

Dark Side

The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) explores the dark side of personality — unconscious tendencies that emerge under stress or pressure and limit career potential.

Can your normal strength of prudence become micromanagement when you are working under a tight deadline, or does your normal outgoing and socially skilled personality become attention-seeking, self-promoting, and dramatic when you are stressed? Awareness of dark-side personality characteristics, helps you recognize potential weaknesses before they become a problem.

Inside

The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) evaluates the inside of personality — the core motives, values, and unconscious biases that determine the kinds of jobs and work environments in which people will succeed.

Motives and values define our personal goals and objectives, the life outcomes that we either desire or seek to avoid. The MVPI will help you understand what motivates you to succeed, the rewards - intrinsic or extrinsic - that propel you, the work environments in which you thrive, and which may actually demotivate you and derail your success.
