HPI, HDS, MVPI, the gold standard for leadership selection
Hogan Assessments is the world leader in personality-based leadership assessment. Their three core instruments, HPI (bright side), HDS (dark side), and MVPI (values), are used by Fortune 500 companies to select and develop leaders. Based on socioanalytic theory with the strongest predictive validity evidence in the industry.
Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.
HPI (Adjustment scale): 'I rarely worry about things going wrong.' True or False?
There are no right or wrong answers. The HPI Adjustment scale measures emotional stability. Answer based on how you actually are, not how you want to appear. Hogan includes validity scales that detect impression management.
HBRI Tactical Reasoning: A store sells 3 items for £2.40. How much do 7 items cost? (A) £4.80 (B) £5.20 (C) £5.60 (D) £6.00
Unit price = £2.40/3 = £0.80. 7 items = 7 × £0.80 = £5.60. The HBRI is the only Hogan test with right/wrong answers.
Hogan assessments measure personality. There are no right or wrong answers. Answer honestly and consistently.
The HDS measures 11 'dark side' derailers. Self-awareness about your derailers is more valuable than trying to hide them.
Hogan includes impression management scales. If you try to look perfect, your score will be flagged as invalid.
The HBRI (cognitive ability) is the only Hogan test with right/wrong answers. Practice abstract and verbal reasoning.
HPI measures the 'bright side': how you behave at your best. HDS measures the 'dark side': how you behave under stress. MVPI measures what motivates you and the culture you prefer. Together they give a comprehensive picture of leadership potential.
You cannot 'game' Hogan assessments. They include validity scales that detect inconsistent or socially desirable responding. The best preparation is self-reflection. The HBRI can be practised with abstract and verbal reasoning exercises.
