Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)

Leaders need the ability to solve complex problems, this drives their capability for sound decision making. The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) is designed to predict real-world performance of middle managers and senior leaders. The tool provides organisations with valuable insights for talent development.

The HBRI assesses critical thinking and business reasoning. Evaluating both types of reasoning, qualitative and quantitative, gives organisations a clear idea of how individuals solve problems in the workplace.

Qualitative reasoning works with data visualisation, logic and verbal information to solve problems.

Quantitative reasoning involves using mathematical and spatial information.

Used for middle to senior leaders, the HBRI supports selection decisions and provides insights into succession planning.

Talent Management from Hogan HBRI

As leaders become more senior their responsibilities increase and that gives them less time to think. So, the ability for critical thinking and decision making becomes more important.

  • Discover the individual’s business reasoning style

  • Develop self-awareness around personal reasoning style to benefit the workplace
