Personality assessment

Through psychological assessment, we identify the individual potential, the personal strengths and derailers, in order to predict occupational success. These assessments serve as a basis for career management decisions within an organization and for further development actions. Based on our local business acumen and global know-how, we propose Hogan Assessments, a cutting edge methodology used for over 30 years all around the world in selection and development programs.

Values & motivations – Motives, Values, Preferences Profile (MVPI) presents the individual core values and motivational drivers that are important for organizational and job fit
