Measuring Cognitive and Strategic Decision Making
Cognitive assessments are important tools for evaluating the mental performance and potential of individuals in professional contexts.
Take a look at the cognitive performance of your employees
Cognitive assessments are standardized test procedures for measuring cognitive abilities and performance. They measure a person’s ability to deal with problems, find solutions and reason and cover various cognitive areas such as logical thinking, problem solving, information processing, verbal and numerical reasoning and spatial reasoning: Logical Reasoning, Problem Solving, Information Processing, Verbal and Numerical Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning.

Highly predictive of career success and performance
Intelligence, like personality, 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.
High predictive power:
Cognitive tests are very good predictors of subsequent career success and job performance. They provide reliable predictions of how candidates will actually perform.
Additional insights:
Cognitive tests generate valuable information about candidates that cannot be captured by other selection methods. They are therefore complementary to other methods such as interviews or assessment centers.
Objective measurement:
They provide a standardized and objective measure of important cognitive skills such as analytical thinking, problem solving, and information processing.
Efficiency:
cognitive tests can speed up and simplify the selection process by providing a quick initial assessment of candidates.
Versatility:
There are tests for different cognitive areas, such as verbal or numerical reasoning, that can be used depending on the job profile.
Complementary to other methods:
Cognitive tests provide valuable additional information about candidates that cannot be obtained through other selection methods such as interviews or assessment centers.
Focus on job-related skills:
Tests such as the HBRI are specifically designed to measure skills that are relevant in a business context, such as business reasoning or decision making.
Scientific basis:
Like other Hogan products, the cognitive tests are based on decades of research and meet high scientific standards.
HBRI – Insight into cognitive performance
The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) provides you with information about how strong a person’s business reasoning skills are by assessing how well a person solves a set of common business issues. You can use the HBRI results to predict how a person will evaluate information and make business decisions.
The report first outputs an “Overall Business Reasoning Score” and analyzes a candidate’s “Quantitative” and “Qualitative Reasoning” in the subscale section. Both values in combination result in the “Cognitive Style” of a person.
JUDGMENT - Overview of the Judgment
The Hogan Judgment report describes how a person processes information, makes judgments, and makes decisions. It also provides information on how a person reacts to feedback and how open he or she is to feedback or coaching.
Especially for (junior) managers and high potentials, this report provides valuable information, including how others are likely to perceive their judgment.
Raven’s Matrice Test
The Raven’s APM-III report provides a highly reliable assessment of test takers’ general cognitive abilities.
This includes measuring the ability to give meaning to ambiguous information, formulate new concepts, and solve problems and tasks when participants are presented with new, complex information in unfamiliar situations.
For example, this matrix test can help predict whether an applicant or employee will be successful in performing new and unfamiliar tasks.
