Human Resource Professionals Certified on Hogan Personality Inventory for Talent Management Applications

Professional certification program shows how to use Hogan Personality Inventory, Hogan Development Survey and Motivation, Values and Preferences Inventory to select talented job candidates and manage employee talent through personality testing.

Old Saybrook, CT (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 -- Personality testing is rapidly becoming a "best practice" for companies interested in selecting high-caliber employees and developing talent. Performance Programs, Inc. will offer professional certification seminars for human resources consultants, coaches, and practitioners on the leading job personality test, the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI). The HPI offers a business-based assessment of personality and is designed to predict occupational success.

Performance Programs is an authorized distributor and certification training provider for Hogan Assessments. The one-day seminars will take place on December 7, 2007 and February 29, 2008 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook, CT, which is easily accessible by train or by car from Rt. 95. Participants receive a Hogan certification manual, a technical manual, the opportunity to interpret their own assessments, and one hour of follow-up telephone consultation. These services would normally be valued at $1545 if purchased separately, but are discounted to $995 for certification participants. The seminar is pre-approved for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) by the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). Participants will also have the opportunity to purchase The Hogan Guide, a new reference book for users of Hogan
personality assessments, for $75.

Participants learn how to administer, interpret, and provide coaching to individuals based on results from the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS), and the Motivation, Values, and Preferences Inventory (MVPI). A new cognitive test, the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI), will be discussed. The agenda includes the optimal uses of these validated tests, their history and development, and overviews of the specialized reports—including the Leadership Forecast Series for executive coaching, and the new Candidate Potential Report, which helps select the right candidates for jobs throughout an organization.

Seminar leader Paul M. Connolly, Ph.D. is an industrial organizational psychologist specializing psychometrics and organizational assessment. He has worked with the Hogan Personality Inventory, the Hogan Development Survey, and Motivation, Values and Preferences Inventory for more than 10 years. He has offered this workshop since 1998.
