Frequently Asked Questions

Hogan Assessments are scientifically validated personality assessments designed to predict and improve workplace performance. They are used globally in recruitment, leadership development and talent management and are available in 47 languages.
Hogan Assessments are built to predict job performance and are backed by an extensive body of independent, peer-reviewed research. The assessments are used by 75% of Fortune 500 companies and are considered the most reliable and valid assessments available for talent selection and development.
Hogan evaluates three dimensions of personality through its core assessments. HPI (Hogan Personality Inventory) looks at everyday personality and how a person comes across to others. HDS (Hogan Development Survey) identifies derailment risks that tend to emerge under pressure. MVPI (Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory) uncovers what drives and motivates a person at a deeper level.
Building on these three, we also offer additional reports for more specific needs, such as High Potential Talent for spotting future leaders, Safety for safety-related competencies, 360 for feedback from managers and peers, EQ for emotional intelligence and Raven’s for cognitive ability. Together, they give a broader view of potential, risk and capability.
Hogan Assessments are used across the full talent lifecycle, from recruitment to leadership development and talent identification.
In practice, we integrate Hogan into a wide range of processes including recruitment, executive coaching, leadership programmes, team and organisational development. The assessments help ensure that development is anchored in real insight rather than assumptions.
The assessments are completed online and typically take 30 minutes, depending on which assessment is used. Results are compiled into detailed reports that support development conversations, coaching and selection processes.
Here, the assessment is only the starting point. The real value comes from how the insights are used in dialogue and development processes. We ensure that results are translated into meaningful reflections and practical actions.
Hogan reports are interpreted by certified practitioners. Our certified consultants bring both business understanding and psychological expertise into the interpretation. We translate results into clear, actionable insights that are directly relevant to the individual’s role, context and organisational goals.
Yes, Hogan provides reliable tools to support objective hiring decisions. We combine Hogan insights with our expertise to assess candidate fit in relation to both role and organisational context.
