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 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.
Please note: to use the Hogan Online Assessments, certification is required. We regularly conduct 3-day online certifications in German and in English. Click here for the next workshop dates.

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.
