Leadership Test: The Modern Alternative to Hogan Assessment

For decades, Hogan Assessments have been the gold standard in personality profiling for leadership development. However, today's leadership challenges require a more integrated and accessible approach.

The Leadership Test isn't just an update—it's a completely new framework built for today's leadership challenges including remote team management, cross-functional collaboration, digital transformation, and the agility required in modern organizations.

The Leadership test offers deep insights into leadership strengths, blind spots, and growth potential.

The Leadership Test was developed by a team of psychologists specializing in leadership, personality, and organizational behavior. Grounded in contemporary research and validated psychological models, this test offers deep insights into leadership strengths, blind spots, and growth potential.

Unlike generic leadership quizzes, this assessment was designed to reflect the complexities of real-world leadership—capturing traits that influence decision-making, communication, and team dynamics. It draws from decades of research in psychology and leadership science to provide a well-rounded, evidence-based view of one’s leadership style.

While newer to the scene than legacy assessments, this test has been rigorously tested for reliability and validity, and continues to evolve as we gather data from thousands of users across industries. It’s a practical and insightful tool for anyone looking to grow as a leader.

Leadership Transformation: Success Stories

"After years of using Hogan with our executive team, switching to the Leadership Test was revelatory. The integrated view across all five domains provided insights we never captured before. The Self-Perception and External Perception comparison was particularly valuable for our senior leaders."

Jennifer R.
Chief Human Resources Officer

"The Leadership Test identified specific Performance Risks that emerged when I was under pressure—patterns that previous assessments missed entirely. Understanding these derailers and having concrete strategies to manage them has fundamentally changed how I lead during challenging situations."

Michael T.
Technology Executive

"What sets the Leadership Test apart is its ability to show connections between all five domains. Understanding how my Core Motivators influence my Performance Strengths—and how those strengths can become risks under stress—has given me powerful insights into my leadership effectiveness."

Sophia K.
Senior Director, Operations

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Leadership Test cost?

+

The full assessment costs $49 per person and includes comprehensive insights across all 3 domains. We offer team discounts starting at $29/report for organizations assessing multiple leaders.

How is the assessment structured?

+

The Leadership Test presents a series of scenario-based questions that measure your natural leadership tendencies. The assessment is designed to be completed in a single 20-minute session, with questions carefully crafted to reveal patterns across all three domains simultaneously.

Do I need special certification to administer the test?

+

Unlike Hogan and other traditional assessments, the Leadership Test requires no certification to administer or interpret. The intuitive reporting format and clear, action-oriented language make results immediately accessible to both individuals and organizations.

How can teams use the Leadership Test effectively?

+

Teams benefit most when members openly share their leadership profiles and understand how different domains complement each other. Our team reports map collective strengths and potential blind spots against organizational objectives. The integrated nature of our assessment makes it particularly valuable for identifying complementary leadership partnerships and addressing team-level risks.

What's the difference between Risk Factors and weaknesses?

+

Risk Factors are not simply weaknesses—they're often overextended traits that emerge under specific conditions. Our approach doesn't suggest eliminating these traits entirely but rather recognizing when and how they manifest, then developing strategies to manage them effectively. This nuanced understanding is far more actionable than simply labeling certain traits as "dark side" behaviors.

What will my results include?

+

Your comprehensive results include detailed analysis across all three domains with specific insights into how your Leadership Style Traits, Risk Factors and Core Motivators drive your leadership approach. You'll receive actionable development strategies, situational leadership recommendations, and guidance on leveraging your unique profile for maximum effectiveness.
