Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)

The HBRI describes reasoning style – the ability to evaluate sets of data, make decisions, solve problems, and avoid repeating past mistakes.

The first measure of reasoning ability designed to predict real-world performance, the HBRI evaluates two kinds of problem solving:

Quantitative Reasoning: involves working with mathematical and spatial information to solve problems

Qualitative Reasoning: involves working with data visualisation, logic, and verbal information to solve problems

By assessing reasoning style, you can identify a candidates’ problem-solving style and identify areas for development.

The HBRI is the first measure of reasoning ability based on a theory of intelligence and designed exclusively to predict real-world performance.
