When predicting a person’s performance and their success in a company, it is important to predict their potential, risks and values and highlight their individual differences, so they can get along with other people and get ahead.
The three Hogan questionnaires measure various facets for this purpose. The HPI (Hogan Personality Inventory) assesses the strengths of your personality. The results will provide you with information on your ability to handle stress, your results orientation, your interaction and learning styles, your development choices and your problem-solving strategies. The HDS (Hogan Development Survey) establishes your behaviour risks that could cause trouble in your associations with others, and restrict your productivity or career potential. The MVPI (Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory) documents your personal values system, your identity. The results provide information, for instance, on whether the values that drive a person also match those of their position and the organisation.
The results are intended to improve strategic self-knowledge. Your strengths (HPI) exist only in combination with your behaviour risks (HDS) – the two sides of a medal that decide on gold, silver or bronze. It may also show that your identity does not always correlate to the way you affect others. In most professions, this comparison between identity and effect is at least as important as a person’s professional skills. This is the very skill that is developed in applicant coaching. However, this awareness isn’t only important when embarking on a career but, together with strategic self-knowledge, has to be reinforced and developed, as that is the only way you will be able to handle changes in your working life.
