The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) measures the dark side of personality. This side of personality consists of qualities that emerge in times of increased strain. “Drive” becomes ruthless ambition, and “attention to detail” becomes micromanaging. Left unchecked, these can disrupt relationships, damage reputations, and derail people’s chances of success. By assessing dark-side personality, you can recognize and mitigate performance risks before they become a problem.

When combined with the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and the Motives, Preferences, Values Inventory (MPVI), the insights are balanced, straightforward, and actionable.
