Most psychologists believe that cognitive ability is the best single predictor of occupational performance and other important developmental outcomes, including health, wealth, and life satisfaction. Most tests of cognitive ability, however, are designed for a general population or educational settings. The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory(HBRI) is a cognitive ability measure designed for the workplace. The inventory draws on the distinction between tactical and strategic reasoning.
Originally published two years ago, the report has now been updated, based on user feedback, with a new format and guidelines for administration. The new report offers four categories of thinkers, based on their style of problem-solving. When used in a business setting, it must be administered in a "lightly proctored setting" on the employer's premises. Please let us know if you would like to know more about the HBRI.
