Assessment & Development Tools

Hogan Assessment
The Hogan Assessment is a suite of science-based personality assessments designed to predict workplace performance, uncover leadership potential, and support personal and professional development. It’s widely used in coaching, talent development, and hiring because it goes beyond surface-level traits to reveal how people typically show up at work, how they might behave under stress, and what truly motivates them.
Here’s a quick breakdown of its three core components:
Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI): Measures day-to-day personality traits that influence how someone works, communicates, and leads.
Hogan Development Survey (HDS): Identifies potential derailers—behaviors that may emerge under pressure and hinder effectiveness.
Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI): Uncovers what drives a person—their core values, goals, and what kind of culture they thrive in.
Why use it?
Because self-awareness is a superpower. The Hogan Assessment helps individuals understand their strengths, blind spots, and leadership style with clarity.For organizations, it’s a powerful tool to build stronger teams, make better hiring decisions, and develop leaders who are not only capable—but aligned with the culture and mission.

Leadership Circle Profile 360
The Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) is a powerful 360° leadership assessment that goes beyond surface-level feedback to reveal the why behind a leader’s behaviors. It uniquely integrates competency-based feedback with insights into the underlying beliefs and assumptions that drive leadership effectiveness—or limit it.
Unlike traditional 360s that focus only on behaviors, the LCP maps both:
Creative Competencies: These are strengths like authenticity, systems thinking, and achieving results—traits linked to high-performing, visionary leadership.
Reactive Tendencies: These are self-protective patterns like control, compliance, or distancing that often emerge under stress and can undermine effectiveness.
The Result?
A holistic snapshot that shows not just how a leader is showing up—but why—and what’s possible when they shift from reactive to creative leadership.
Why Use It?
Deep Insight, Fast: The LCP’s visual framework makes complex data instantly accessible, helping leaders quickly see where they stand and what’s holding them back.
Root-Cause Awareness: It doesn’t just target symptoms—it reveals the mindset behind behaviors, enabling sustainable transformation.
Benchmarking & Growth: With a global database of over 4 million leaders, results are benchmarked for context and clarity.
Coaching-Ready: It’s designed to pair seamlessly with coaching, making it a powerful launchpad for development conversations and leadership growth.

EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360
The EQ-i 2.0 (Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0) is one of the most scientifically validated tools for assessing emotional intelligence (EQ)—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others. It measures 15 emotional intelligence competencies across five key areas: Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making, and Stress Management.
Unlike personality assessments that focus on fixed traits, the EQ-i 2.0 highlights learnable skills—making it a powerful tool for leadership development, team effectiveness, and personal growth.
Why Use It?
Provides a detailed snapshot of emotional strengths and development areas
Supports leadership effectiveness, resilience, and communication
Offers actionable strategies for improving EQ competencies
Ideal for coaching, succession planning, and performance development
What Is the EQ 360?
The EQ 360 is the multi-rater companion to the EQ-i 2.0. It combines your self-assessment with feedback from colleagues, direct reports, supervisors, and others—offering a 360-degree view of how your emotional intelligence is perceived across your ecosystem.
It measures the same 15 EQ competencies as the EQ-i 2.0, but adds the invaluable dimension of perception alignment—highlighting where your self-view matches (or diverges from) how others experience you.
Why Use It?
Reveals blind spots and hidden strengths
Enhances self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness
Builds trust and transparency through structured feedback
Ideal for executive coaching, leadership development, and team dynamics
