Personality tests from Hogan Assessments are very popular among our customers, so we were glad to learn of the new book called The Hogan Guide by Robert Hogan, Joyce Hogan, and Rodney Warrenfelz. New users of Hogan assessments will find this a valuable reference to the core concepts behind the Hogan Personality Inventory, Hogan Development Survey, and Motives, Values, and Preferences Inventory. Advanced users will also appreciate its breadth, as it covers every conceivable aspect of the tools and their applications in one concise document. One of the reasons we recommend Hogan’s personality assessments is because they are so well supported with interpretive material, in addition to rigorous research.
The new book is written in a conversational, business-oriented tone, though its academic background is clear. The organization is clear and the layout conducive to finding information quickly.
The book is divided into three parts:
1. Understanding the inventories: History, global portability, scale definitions, and performance implications of results on a scale-by-scale basis.
2. Interpretation methods: including configural, conflict, and competency interpretation.
3. Developmental feedback delivery, coaching and supporting.
We are very pleased to add this book to our list of recommendations on personality testing.
The book is available from Performance Programs for $75, plus shipping (tax applies in CT). For more information or to purchase a copy, visit our shopping cart.
