Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
Outlines strengths and skills
that enhance an individual’s career.
Personality assessment is rapidly becoming a best practice for selecting and developing talented employees.
The HPI is the industry standard for measuring personality as it relates to job performance. The deeply-ingrained personal characteristics measured by the HPI impact how individuals approach work and interaction with others.
It has a 30-year history of successfully predicting employee performance and helping companies reduce turnover, absenteeism, shrinkage, and poor customer service. It was the first inventory of normal personality based on the Five-Factor Model and developed specifically for the business community.
The Hogan Personality Inventory identifies the bright side of the personality - behavioral tendencies that are quickly noticed and capable of enhancing job performance. The HPI is job specific - High or Low Scale Scores may be strengths in some job contexts, or shortcomings depending upon the demands of the job environment.
