Professional Certification for Hogan Personality Inventory

No one can predict the future performance of a new hire, but we have found that employers who use personality tests from Hogan Assessments take a lot of the guesswork out of their hiring. To assure best use of these tests, Hogan Assessment Systems requires certification for coaches and HR professionals prior to delivering test results to their clients and workgroups.


Next Sessions: September 24 and November 12, 2009


Performance Programs chose Hogan instruments over the many others available in the market because they meet all the criteria of excellence in workplace assessment, including rigorous scientific standards and no adverse impact. We have worked with Hogan instruments for 10 years, helping hundreds of clients implement them for both candidate selection and development.



We use all of the Hogan-authorized materials, workbooks, PowerPoint, assessments, information and complete all Hogan training objectives. The Hogan Workshops have pre-work modules and a self-assessment. Registration should be completed at least two weeks in advance. All Hogan workshops are pre-approved for credit by the SHRMS's Human Resource Certification Institute for SPHR, PHR, and GPHR certifications. APA credits are also available.

These one-day seminars are scheduled from 8:30 – 4:30 in Westbrook, CT at Water's Edge Resort. This is close to Rt. 95 and accessible by Amtrak or Shoreline East/MetroNorth trains. The workshop location is within one hour of either the Providence, RI or Hartford, CT airports.

All seminars are $1200, discounted from the full retail value of $ 2300. Certification includes: a personal assessment ($450 value), a copy of The Hogan Guide ($75 value), all Certification Materials ($300), two free assessment IDs for post-workshop use ($800 value), one hour of pre-conference telephone review of your own reports and one-half hour of post-conference telephone review of your first live case ($675 value). In addition, you receive access to the DYAD Training Tool for rapid report interpretation.


Please inquire about rates for additional telephone consultation beyond the first hour.

Please call if we can be of assistance: 1-800-565-4223 or register now.

Can you tell me what rigorous scientific assessments (eg validity, reliability etc) have been conducted on Hogan's instruments and where I can find these reports? I have been searching Hogan's website and can't find the information I'm looking for - only general claims that they are rigorous and studies have been conducted - but not access to the studies themselves or their specific findings. Not sure what the system for accreditation of testing instruments is in America.

The Hogan assessments have been fully documented and all of that research can be found in one of the several technical manuals available for each assessment. Electronic copies of these technical manuals are included as part of the certification training package. They are also available directly from the Hogan Bookstore ( see http://www.hoganassessments.com/store )

While there isn't a centralized system for accrediting assessments, you can refer to the Buros Center for Testing, which is a sort of "Consumer Reports" for mental assessments. They can be found at http://www.unl.edu/buros/
