[Old Saybrook, CT, July 25, 2008]--No one can predict the future performance of a new hire, but many employers have found that pre-employment personality tests take guesswork out of finding people with the best job fit. "More and more employers are looking for increased certainty in hiring, which is something that well validated personality tests offer," says Paul M. Connolly, Ph.D., an industrial psychologist who has worked with employee personality tests for 20 years.
Connolly will offer a certfication workshop on Hogan personality tests on September, 12 and November 6, 2008, for human resource consultants, coaches, and practitioners. The hands-on workshop covers the leading job personality test, the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), in detail. The HPI is a business-oriented assessment of an employee's job fit and is designed to predict job success.
Connolly's firm, Performance Programs, Inc., is an authorized distributor and certification training provider for these assessments. The one-day seminar will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook, CT. The location is easily accessible by train or by car from Rt. 95.
Workshops include pre-certification modules and self-assessment for each participant. Registration must be completed two weeks in advance to be ready for the session. August 30 is the registration deadline for the September 12 session.
Certification is $1200, discounted from the full retail value of $1940. Certification includes: a personal assessment ($450 value); a copy of The Hogan Guide ($75 value); all certification materials ($165 value); two free assessment IDs for post-workshop use ($800 value); free setup on the Hogan Assessment Link Online to administer Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS) , Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) and receive e-mail reports ($450 value); one hour of post-conference telephone consultation. In addition, participants receive the DYAD Training Tool for rapid report interpretation.
Dr. Connolly has offered Hogan workshops for eight years and uses the tests with clients worldwide. Workshop training objectives include a thorough understanding of the development and research behind the tests. Participants learn to identify and report key strengths and weaknesses from Potential, Challenge, and Values reports in the widely used Leadership Forecast Series. They also learn to identify the five assessment perspectives that the HPI and other Hogan assessments utilize. Feedback training is provided both through the workshop and in post-workshop telephone consultation.
