Hogan Assessments (Part 1) Unlocking Leadership Potential

In today’s fast-paced and complex business world, leadership success goes beyond technical skills or industry experience. True effectiveness comes from self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to inspire and lead others with impact.

Enter the Hogan Personality Inventory - a science-backed tool that goes beyond typical personality tests. With over 40 years of research behind it, Hogan helps leaders uncover their strengths, understand potential blind spots, and see how their personality truly shapes workplace performance. Whether you’re an emerging leader or an experienced executive, Hogan provides the insights to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.

What Makes Hogan Different?

Most personality tests show you how you see yourself. Hogan goes further - it reveals how others see you and how your personality affects real-world leadership performance. By assessing both your natural strengths and potential derailers, Hogan gives leaders a complete picture of how they show up in the workplace, especially under pressure.

What the Hogan Assessments Measure

Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)

The HPI evaluates day-to-day leadership potential - how leaders naturally show up when things are running smoothly. It measures traits such as ambition, sociability, prudence, and learning approach, providing insight into how individuals lead and collaborate with teams.

Hogan Development Survey (HDS)

The HDS identifies potential leadership derailers - the traits that emerge under stress and can undermine performance. These may include tendencies like over-controlling behavior, risk aversion, or excessive boldness - patterns that, if unchecked, can disrupt team effectiveness and decision-making.

Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI)

The MVPI uncovers what truly drives a leader. Understanding these core values ensures decisions are aligned with personal and organisational purpose, boosting engagement, cultural fit, and long-term impact.

A Data-Driven Path to Leadership Success

Using the Hogan Personality Inventory provides you with a research-backed foundation for developing high-impact leaders. Whether supporting emerging talent, preparing executives for larger responsibilities, or building a robust leadership pipeline, Hogan offers insights that drive measurable results in performance, engagement, and long-term success.

When followed-up with targeted feedback and coaching, leaders gain the clarity, confidence, and self-awareness needed to lead with impact - creating resilient, high-performing organisations that thrive in today’s ever-changing business landscape.
