The 'Bright Side' of personality - the you that other people know

The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) is the first of a distinctive new generation of personality questionnaires shaped by job performance research. The HPI raises the aspirations for personality assessment from mere description of candidates to prediction of their job performance.

Over more than 25 years, the HPI was refined on the basis of performance related validity research as the authors sought to "capture excellence" across a wide range of jobs; identifying the facets of personality that distinguish the best from the rest. In addition to the more traditional construct validation processes, this edition of the HPI is supported by more than 250,000 administrations for which job performance data was also collected – and the archive continues to grow. With no distractions from a single-minded focus on job performance, the HPI has discarded items that fail to pull their predictive weight.

The result is a 206 item questionnaire which identifies the individuals most likely to be effective in any role, and the roles in which individuals are likely to be most effective. It is the first normal range personality questionnaire based on the five-factor model of personality designed specifically for occupational assessment.
