Testing personality – Why we should look into people’s dark side?
Hogan offer two distinct personality tests:
The Hogan Personality Inventory which is designed to assess the ‘bright’ side of someone’s personality; that is aspects of the personality that promote success. This assessment can reveal areas of strengths and also some interpersonal tendencies that might cause problems.
The Hogan Development Survey which identifies the ‘darker’ side of our personality, revealing what we see when we are stressed. These darker sides can affect an individual’s leadership style and behaviour. Under normal circumstances these characteristics can be strengths.
Getfeedback were delighted when Sarah Fenwick approached them to sponsor the on-line provision of these tests to the 2009 Rivers of Ice Expedition. This provided a great opportunity for Getfeedback to really put these tests through their paces. The expedition was the first attempt at an unsupported crossing of the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap by a team of two adventurers. Find out how Sarah Fenwick helped them prepare using the Hogan tests as part of their mental preparation.
