What Is the Normal (Bright-Side) Personality?

Your normal personality is assessed along the following seven scales:

  • Adjustment: self-confidence, self-esteem, and working under pressure
  • Ambition: desire to lead, initiative, and competitiveness
  • Sociability: need for social interaction and extraversion
  • Interpersonal Sensitivity: likeability, tact, and relationship maintenance
  • Prudence: responsibility, self-discipline, and thoroughness
  • Inquisitive: creativity, curiosity, and imagination
  • Learning Approach: enjoyment of learning and ambition to keep up with current knowledge

The Hogan Personality Inventory also predicts your work performance by measuring six occupational scales:

  • Service Orientation
