(PRWEB) May 8, 2004 --Hogan Assessment Systems pioneered the use of personality measures for organizational staffing and development decisions. Human Resources professionals can become certified in the administration of these tests by attending a workshop on June 11 at the offices of Performance Programs, Inc. in Old Saybrook, CT.

Hogan assessments are based on 30 years of development, refinement, and validation. They predict on-the-job performance, particularly those aspects of performance normally associated with "attitude." HAS assessment tools identify the personal and motivational characteristics needed to perform well in various occupations. The assessments also provide valuable information for in-depth developmental feedback.

Attendees obtain a thorough understanding of the development and research behind the Hogan Personality Inventory, Hogan Development Survey and Motivation, Values and Preferences Inventory.

They learn how to interpret the results using sample profiles and how to use the assessments for selection. Interviewers become better equipped to make candidate selections.

The seminar also covers the legal aspects of using personality tests in a pre-employment application.

Performance Programs, Inc. specializes in measurement systems for organizations. The company also offers certification workshops on 360-degree feedback by the Clark Wilson Group. The next Clark Wilson seminar is on June 10.
