Hogan Assessments

Hogan Assessments builds its position on predictive validity, stating that its approach achieves the highest level of predictive validity in the industry. In assessment that is the only claim that finally matters, since a personality measure that does not predict job performance is an interesting description and nothing more.

The company measures a wide range of personality dimensions and publishes a sample of them, with named dimensions including sociability, mischievous and altruistic. The naming reflects Hogan's distinctive approach of measuring characteristics that can be strengths in moderation and liabilities in excess, rather than sorting people into flattering types.

An interactive tool on the site lets a visitor move sliders across dimensions and see how assessment scores interact, with interpretation provided. That interaction is the substantive point: personality dimensions do not act independently, and the same score means something different depending on what accompanies it. Presenting that interaction rather than a list of scores reflects how the instruments are actually meant to be read.

Industry coverage is broad, spanning banking, construction and engineering, education, energy and utilities, food and beverage, government, healthcare, hospitality and leisure, information technology, manufacturing, and metals and mining. Pricing is not published, and the full range of dimensions measured is available through contact with the company.
