What Does the HBRI Measure?
The HBRI aims to measure your critical thinking abilities, in a way that will predict performance in a wide variety of management and business settings. To do so, your basic scores on the test will be converted and analyzed into 3 main factors that your employer will see in your personal HBRI report:
Overall Business Reasoning
- This factor presents the ability to balance short and long-term goals, link innovation to implementation, recognize assumptions, understand agendas, evaluate arguments, etc.
- Provides a normative score – comparing how well did you score on the HBRI compared to a sample of working adults from across the globe.
Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning
- Qualitative Reasoning – This factor presents the ability to work with data visualization, logic, and verbal information to solve problems.
- Quantitative Reasoning – This factor presents the ability to work with mathematical and spatial information to solve problems.
- These Factors also provide a normative score – comparing how well did you score on the HBRI compared to a sample of working adults from across the globe.
Cognitive Style: The Interaction of Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning
- This factor combines the two critical reasoning components to describe how you think and solve problems in the workplace.
- There are 4 Cognitive Style Profiles in the HBRI's model: Expedient Thinker, Analytical Thinker, Contextual Thinker, and Critical Thinker
