The Hogan Personality Inventory is a contemporary measure of normal personality to predict job performance and was one of the first personality questionnaires developed specifically for business and commercial application. The HPI is used extensively world-wide by leading organisations and consultancies for selection, development and integration into corporate talent and people management initiatives and strategy.
The HPI effectively measures the "big 5" personality characteristics that are generally accepted by psychologists globally as distinct personality factors. Hogan's extensive and unique database archive of job validation studies offers a rich source of information that can be called upon to identify what good looks like for a wide range of job roles and functions. With multiple language options for both on-line administration and reporting, the HPI is a nuatural choice for international application.
The Hogan Personality Inventory is one of four instrumtents in the product suite from Hogan Assessments. When used together they generate incremental validity for selection and powerful development insight, understanding and opportunity for personal development.
