HOGAN BUSINESS REASONING INVENTORY - HBRI

An inventory of decision-making style in a business environment

The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory evaluates a person's ability to solve problems and make business-related decisions using textual, graphic, and quantitative data.

Many psychologists believe that cognitive ability (intelligence) is the best single predictor of occupational performance and other important outcomes, including health, wealth, and life satisfaction.

The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) is a significant advance in this measurement tradition and should become the industry standard for assessing cognitive ability. It is the first measure of cognitive ability to be based on evolutionary psychology and designed exclusively to predict real-world performance.

The inventory has been developed using cutting-edge psychometric methods. It provides an overall score, plus scores for strategic and tactical reasoning.

The inventory has several unique features:

  • A business-related measure of cognitive ability
  • Designed to predict occupational success
  • Distinguishes between tactical and strategic reasoning abilities
  • Useful for candidate screening and career/leadership development
  • Developed exclusively on working adults
  • Norms based on managerial samples
  • Validated against business success criteria
  • Fully Internet enabled
  • User-friendly reports available for selection or development
