Hogan Development Survey (HDS)
Identifies dysfunctional dispositions—
tendencies that appear after prolonged exposure,
during stress or as a result of heavy work loads
—that can derail an individual’s career
The Hogan Development Survey assesses eleven behavioral tendencies capable of impeding work relationships, hindering productivity, or limiting overall career potential. These career derailers - deeply ingrained in personality traits - affect an individual's leadership style and actions.
When under pressure, most people will display certain counterproductive tendencies or risk factors. Under normal circumstances these characteristics may actually be strengths. However, when an individual is tired, pressured, bored, or otherwise distracted, these risk factors may impede effectiveness and erode the quality of relationships with customers and colleagues. The Hogan Development Survey identifies tendencies that are often referred to as the dark side of the personality - capable of negatively impacting performance.
The Hogan Development Survey assessments provide valuable feedback for strategic self-awareness, which is the key to avoiding the negative consequences associated with these tendencies. HDS is the only business-related inventory that measures these dysfunctional behavioral patterns.
