Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory
Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) evaluates a person's ability to solve problems and make business-related decisions using textual, graphic, and quantitative data. Many psychologists believe that cognitive ability is an excellent predictor of occupational performance and other important outcomes, including health, wealth, and life satisfaction. The HBRI is the first measure of reasoning ability based on a theory of intelligence and designed exclusively to predict real-world performance.
The HBRI is based on evolutionary psychology. Within this context, intelligence is the ability to reflect on one's past actions, determine where the problems have occurred, and then devise methods to avoid repeating those problems in the future. Individual differences in this cognitive capacity enhance performance in every significant domain of human action.
Through an ongoing dedication to research and development, the HBRI is the only business-related measure of cognitive ability with all these essential features:
