The HPI measures normal personality along seven primary scales:
Adjustment: confidence, self-esteem, and composure under pressure
Ambition: initiative, competitiveness, and desire for leadership roles
Sociability: extraversion, gregarious, and need for social interaction
Interpersonal Sensitivity: tact, perceptiveness, and ability to maintain relationships
Prudence: self-discipline, responsibility and conscientiousness
Inquisitive: imagination, curiosity, and creative potential
Learning Approach: achievement-oriented, stays up-to-date on business and technical matters
The Hogan Personality Inventory
describes normal, or bright-side personality – the strengths and
weaknesses people display when they are at their best. Bright-side
personality characteristics dictate to which psychological role an
individual will be drawn.
