Hogan Development Survey (HDS) is an assessment of behavioral tendencies that can be barriers to career success. Comprised of 168 true-false items, the HDS takes less than 20 minutes to complete. It measures eleven common dysfunctional dispositions that can be impede occupational achievement. These "career derailers" can disrupt relationships with others and interfere with an individual's career goals.

The HDS assesses what is often referred to as the "dark side" measure of personality. It was developed to measure the region of interpersonal behavior that exists between "normal personality" and clinically-significant personality disorders.

What the Hogan Development Survey Measures

The following are the 11 scales of the HDS with a brief description of the behavioral tendencies that would likely be exhibited by those scoring in the high-risk range.

		Excitable - moody, easily annoyed, hard to please, and emotionally volatile
		Skeptical - distrustful, cynical, sensitive to criticism, and focused on the negative
		Cautious - unassertive, resistant to change, risk averse, and slow to make decisions
		Reserved - aloof, indifferent to the feelings of others, and tends to be uncommunicative
		Leisurely - overtly cooperative, but privately irritable, stubborn, and uncooperative
		Bold - overtly self-confident, arrogant, feels entitled, and has an inflated self-worth
		Mischievous - charming and takes risks, tests limits, and seeks excitement
		Colorful - active, energetic, entertaining, dramatic, and seeks attention
		Imaginative - somewhat creative, but thinks and acts in unusual, odd, or eccentric ways
		Diligent - meticulous, precise, conscientious, hard to please, and demands perfection
		Dutiful - eager to please, reluctant to take independent action or go against popular opinion

Two reports can be generated from the HDS:

		Data Report This report provides a summary of the individual's results on each scale compared to the normative sample. It does not contain any interpretive data.
		Leadership Forecast Challenge Report This report is designed for both selection and development purposes. The results for each scale are presented graphically along with an individualized narrative report that provides an analysis of the impact of how an individual's scores are likely to be manifest in their work and role as a leader.

Additionally, if the HDS is completed as part of battery with the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI), the two following integrative reports are also available:

		Personality Executive Summary (PES)
		Coaching Report This Report integrates findings from the HPI, HDS, and MVPI and yields a comprehensive development report which can be used in either a coaching or self-development context and provides the basis for a Self-Development Plan.
