Personality analysis in a professional context

Developed in the 1990s by Robert and Joyce Hogan, the Hogan assessment provides comprehensive insights into the personality, motivations and potential risks of candidates and employees, thereby supporting well-founded personnel decisions and targeted development measures. Based on decades of research, the assessments aim to predict professional performance and behavior within organizations.

Hogan solutions

Hogan assessments and reports are tailored to the needs of the customer.

The results of the various Hogan assessments, such as the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), the Hogan Development Survey (HDS), and the Motives, Values & Preferences Inventory (MVPI), are summarized in comprehensive reports. These reports show the candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, values, and potential areas for development, and are used as the basis for personnel decisions, feedback, and development activities.

Hogan Assessments offers customized reporting options for executives as well as custom solutions to best prepare the results of the various personality tests in a way to meet the client’s needs.

  • Managers - 360° all-round feedback

    Three highlights of the 360° process for evaluating management and leadership behavior

    The Hogan 360° for Managers systematically assesses competencies and leadership behavior from different perspectives. The focus is on the comparison between self-image and external image.
    The Agile Leader 360° report is designed to help leaders at all levels of an organization gain a better understanding of how they are really perceived by others and thereby improve their agile leadership potential.
    The LVI is a 360° feedback tool that assesses contrasting but complementary behaviors required for effective and, most importantly, versatile leadership. The LVI is used for FC development.

    Managers Agile Leader

    Focus on agile leadership skills

    The Agile Leader report maps new leadership competencies: Humility/Commitment, Visionary/Adaptive as well as Hyper-Aware, Informed Decision Making and Fast Action. These competencies were identified on the basis of a joint study conducted by IMD Business School and metaBeratung in 2016. Based on the Hogan Core Assessments HPI, HDS and MVPI, the results can be presented on these competencies and candidates get an insight into what counts in a fast-changing environment.

    Teams

    Insights into the dynamics, strengths and development potential of a team

    Better understand team dynamics through targeted analysis. The Hogan Team Report provides insights into the distribution of five key team roles, potential stumbling blocks, values and drivers. The LVI team report can make a significant contribution to better understanding communication patterns in the team, identifying weak points and working specifically on improving team communication.The Hogan Team Report is based on the individual Hogan Assessments of the team members. It analyzes the personality profiles of the individual team members, focusing on their potential, risks and personal values, and looks at the external perception (reputation) of the individuals in the team. Because the Hogan Assessments have already been completed, the report can be produced without additional interviews.
    The LVI Team Report is a valuable tool for developing leaders and teams, providing deep insight into the leadership competencies and dynamics within a team through its differentiated assessment methodology and comprehensive analysis.

    Hogan Assessments Cognitive Test for Employees

    We use cognitive assessment to measure, among other things, a person's ability or talent to deal with problems, to find solutions to various everyday challenges, or to think deductively.
    Like personality, intelligence is a stable trait that persists over time. We recommend using a cognitive assessment in conjunction with our personality assessments to increase accuracy and better predict an employee's job performance.
