This is the new, fourth edition of the technical manual describing the development, reliability, and validity of the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI).
The bright side of personality, measured by the HPI, describes how we relate to others when we are at our best. Whether your goal is to find the right hire or develop stronger leaders, assessing personality gives you valuable insight into how people work, how they lead, and how successful they will be in your organization.
Based on the five-factor model of personality, the HPI was developed in the 1980s in the context of socioanalytic theory. According to this theory, getting along with others and getting ahead in the social hierarchy are the dominant themes in social life. The HPI captures key behavioral tendencies relevant to these objectives.
