The Dark Side of Personality

Overview

In the spring of 2021, more than 200 heads of our member schools took the second phase of the Hogan Assessment.

Phase II used the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) that measures the personality-related risk factors and blind spots that derail careers. These behaviors might be strengths, but when overused can cause problems at work and in life.

Whereas characteristics of the HPI (Phase I) can be seen in a person’s day-to-day behaviors, the performance risks assessed by the HDS will only be seen in situations where a person is not actively managing his or her public image. This might include high stress or change, multi-tasking, task saturation, or poor person/job fit.

Phase II also looks at the interplay between the HPI and HDS by those who have taken both assessments.
