Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)



How does this individual identify and solve problems?


How will this person approach problem-solving in the real world?


The HBRI measures global constructs of tactical and strategic reasoning which, together, impact an individual's capacity to process dense and complex information as might be found in the real world (rather than the very narrow and specific kind of information that might be found in a traditional IQ test).


This assessment is designed to predict reasoning capabilities required for successful workplace performance and can be used to facilitate professional development and candidate screening within Managerial and above populations.


Considerable validation research suggests that higher scorers perform well across a variety of tasks by recognising assumptions, evaluating arguments, and making validated interpretations and deductions.  Individual differences in this cognitive capacity enhance performance in every significant domain of human action.
