What makes this test unique:
The Hogan Development Survey evaluates 11 forms of interpersonal behaviour that can cause problems at work and in life. Behaviours associated with elevated HDS scores can be strengths, but when overused can derail relationships and careers. Individuals who understand their performance limitations have more successful careers. This report builds self-awareness by highlighting behavioural tendencies of which you might be unaware.

Employers use this assessment to ensure that you are not a risk to their company.
The Hogan Development Survey assesses the dark-side personality with the following eleven scales:

Excitable: Enthusiasm for working, as well as whether you are easily frustrated, moody, irritable, or inclined to give up on people/projects.
Skeptical: Alertness for signs of deceptive behavior in others and you ability to act when they are detected.
Cautious: Risk aversion, fear of failure, and avoidance of criticism.
Reserved: toughness, aloofness, standoffishness, and lack of concern for the feelings of others.
Leisurely: Stubbornness, uncooperativeness, self-serving
Bold: Seemingly fearless, confident, and self-assured, always expecting to succeed, unable to admit mistakes or learn from experience.
Mischievous: Seemingly bright, attractive, adventurous, risk-seeking, and limit-testing.
Colorful: Seemingly gregarious, fun, entertaining, and enjoying being in the spotlight.
Imaginative: Seemingly innovative, creative, possibly eccentric, and sometimes self-absorbed behavior.
Diligent: Hardworking, detail-oriented, having high standards of performance for self/others.
Dutiful: Coming across as a loyal and dependable employee.

The HDS identifies behavioural tendencies that emerge when a person is stressed, bored, or fatigued.
Research shows that people with lower HDS scores have fewer problems at work. High-risk and moderate-risk scores indicate areas of concern, but low scores indicate underused strengths that also deserve attention.
The average person has three or four high-risk HDS scores.
