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 problem-solving style, understand their capacity, and identify areas for development. 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 of their decision-making.
