HDS
The Hogan Development Survey (HDS) identifies personality-based performance risks and derailers of interpersonal behaviour. These derailers affect an individual’s leadership style and actions. If these behaviour patterns are recognized, however, they can be compensated by development and coaching.
The HDS concerns characteristics not covered by the Five-Factor Model. Under normal circumstances, the elevated scores on the HDS scales may actually be strengths. However, when an individual is tired, pressured, bored, or otherwise distracted, these risk factors may impede effectiveness and derail success in careers, relationships, education, and life.
