Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)

Work | Abilities | Leadership and Managerial Roles

The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) evaluates peoples’ ability to solve different business-related problems, and these solutions then drive decision making. Scores on the HBRI do not reflect a person’s interest in problem solving, but rather reflect a person’s potential critical reasoning ability and decision-making style.It is important to note that factors other than problem solving ability influence decision making. For example, experienced people typically make better decisions than newcomers. Moreover, technology aids decision making in many jobs (e.g., airline pilots). Finally, peoples’ ability to learn from experience will determine the long-term quality oftheir decision making.


ASSESSMENT SCALES

  • Overall Business Reasoning Score: provides a normative score comparing the candidate to others around the globe.
  • Qualitative Reasoning: provides an indication of the candidate’s ability to work with data visualisation, logic and verbal information to solve problems.
  • Quantitative Reasoning: provides an indication of the candidate’s ability to work with mathematical and spatial information to solve problems.
  • Cognitive Style: combining qualitative and quantitative reasoning, describes how candidates think about and solve problems in the workplace.


AREAS OF APPLICATION

The HBRI can be used for both selection and development purposes.


REPORT OPTION

The updated HBRI currently only has an Interpretive Report, which provides in-depth narrative on the above-mentioned scales.
