The suite includes personality measures like the HPI, HDS, and MVPI, as well as the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI), which assesses problem-solving skills in a business context.
Together, these tests help employers understand how you think, behave, and perform on the job, especially in leadership roles such as Manager, Director, and Executive positions.

What Is The Hogan Assessment?
The Hogan Assessment System refers to a group of pre-employment and leadership assessments used by employers to measure how people think, behave, and perform at work. Often called the Hogan test or Hogan assessment test, these are well-established psychometric assessments used globally for selection, development, and leadership evaluation.
Unlike many traditional personality tests, the Hogan assessment is designed specifically for workplace contexts, helping organizations understand both everyday behavior and potential risks that may impact job performance.
In most cases, a Hogan assessment includes a combination of personality and cognitive tests. The core components typically include the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS), Motives, Values, & Preferences Inventory (MVPI), and, in some roles, the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI). We cover all of these in our comprehensive Hogan Assessments preparation package.

Many organizations ask candidates to complete more than one Hogan assessment because the tests are designed to measure different but complementary areas.
The personality tests focus on everyday working style, potential derailers, and core values, while the HBRI adds insight into reasoning and decision-making ability.
Taken together, these assessments provide a more complete picture of workplace fit and future potential.
That's why Hogan assessments are often used as a bundle rather than as standalone tests, especially for hiring, leadership assessment, and talent development.

How The Hogan Assessment Works
The Hogan Assessment System is typically completed online as part of a hiring process or leadership evaluation. After being invited by an employer, candidates are given access to one or more assessments, which they can usually complete in a single sitting or across multiple sessions.
The Hogan assessment test is made up of different components, depending on the role.
- The personality assessments are questionnaire-based and ask candidates to rate how well certain statements describe their behavior, preferences, and tendencies at work. These are untimed and designed to capture natural responses rather than test speed.
- If included, the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) adds a timed element to the process. This test focuses on reasoning and decision-making in business-related scenarios, requiring candidates to interpret information and choose the best answers under time constraints.
Once completed, the results are compiled into detailed reports for the employer. These reports provide insight into how a candidate is likely to perform, lead, and interact with others, making the Hogan assessment a valuable tool for both selection and development decisions.
How To Prepare For The Hogan Assessment
Preparing for the Hogan Assessment is mainly about understanding the format of the tests and approaching them in a focused, consistent way. Since the Hogan tests measure both personality and reasoning ability, your preparation should reflect both elements.
Here are the key things to focus on:
- Understand the structure of the assessment: Familiarize yourself with the different components, including the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS), Motives, Values, and Preferences Inventory (MVPI), and, if included, the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI).
- Be consistent in personality questionnaires: The personality tests are designed to identify patterns in how you respond. Answering honestly and consistently is more important than trying to choose ideal responses.
- Practice for the cognitive test: If you're taking the HBRI, practice reasoning-based questions such as data interpretation, logical thinking, and problem-solving to improve both speed and accuracy.
- Manage your time and environment: Although the personality tests are untimed, the HBRI is timed. Make sure you're in a quiet environment, using a reliable device, and able to focus without interruptions.
- Approach the tests with a work mindset: Think about how you typically behave in professional situations when answering questions, rather than how you act in non-work contexts.
Taking the time to prepare properly can help you feel more confident and perform at your best, especially when the Hogan assessment is used for competitive roles or leadership positions.
Our preparation package is designed to provide full coverage of all Hogan assessments, helping you get familiar with both the personality tests and the HBRI so you can approach the assessments with confidence.

FAQs
Hogan Assessments are used by employers to support hiring decisions, leadership development, and talent management. As a psychometric assessment, it helps organizations evaluate personality, workplace behavior, and, in some cases, cognitive ability to predict job performance and cultural fit.
The length of a Hogan assessment depends on which tests are included. The personality assessments (HPI, HDS, and MVPI) are untimed and typically take between 45 minutes to an hour in total, while the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) usually takes around 20 - 30 minutes to complete. Altogether, most candidates can expect the full Hogan assessment to take about 1 to 1.5 hours.
The Hogan personality assessment is not considered difficult in the traditional sense, as there are no right or wrong answers. However, the cognitive portion, particularly the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI), can be more challenging, as it involves timed reasoning and problem-solving questions. That said, candidates can benefit from extensive preparation for all parts of the Hogan assessment.
Hogan assessment results are presented in detailed reports that highlight personality traits, values, and potential workplace behaviors. There is no pass or fail score. Instead, employers use the results to assess how well a candidate aligns with a role, team, or leadership profile.
No, not all candidates take every Hogan test. Employers choose which assessments to include based on the role. However, many organizations use a combination of the HPI, HDS, MVPI, and sometimes the HBRI to get a more complete view of a candidate’s personality and abilities.
