Dr. Hogan to speak on personality assessment, leadership, and organizational effectiveness.

They may like it, but extroverted people are less likely to put a ring on it.

Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Hogan’s vice president of research and innovation, and his colleagues surveyed more than 16,000 people to examine how personality influences relationship style. They found that extroverted people tend to be more passionate in their relationships, where conscientious people tend to favor intimacy and commitment. Agreeable individuals tend to be intimate, committed, and passionate.

They also found that two out of three relationship styles were significantly related to how long a relationship lasted. People with a committed relationship style tended to have longer-lasting relationships, where passionate relationship style was negatively related to relationship length. That is, if you tend to be more passionate, your relationship is likely to end more quickly.

Find out how else your personality is affecting your love life.

Five words: Online, interactive, competency development report.

These words have never been used in the same sentence to describe any type of personality assessment output, ever. To that end, Hogan is proud to announce the launch of GMAC Reflect. Over the last 2 years Hogan (myself included) has worked alongside the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) to create Reflect, a self-directed customized learning experience for MBA students.

GMAC, as you may know, is the power behind the business school GMAT exam for prospective MBA students. However, Reflect was created in an effort to provide self development programs to their core market. Reflect is also very affordable because we know students will be buying it directly. A Reflect ID/login is valid for 3 years, so you can log back in and see the newest learning resources and text.

Reflect measures graduate students across 10 business competencies that aim to enhance professional interactions, job performance and career prospects. GMAC conducted a wide variety of focus groups and corporate surveys to solidify the key competencies that cover over 80% of existing corporate competency models. Ultimately, the differentiator here is that the assessment and the personal development tool are online and can be used without a facilitator or coach.

Each individual competency offers detailed information based on a person’s score as well as related learning resources that are meant to enhance your skills and behaviors. There are also targeted actionable tips to improve your performance. In true Hogan speak, Reflect also provides a list of 12 behaviors to start, stop, and keep doing based on your scores. Students can then add learning resources, recommended actions, and tips from the report to a customizable work plan. Lastly, Reflect offers a career benchmarking section where an individual can compare their own competency scores against high-performing professionals in 14 business careers. This feature is aimed at the competitive MBA student to fully understand how their own behaviors might be measuring up.

Although it is one of the most researched topics in the world, the academic study of leadership has failed to produce any applicable results.

Did you know your personality could be slimming?

In a 2010 article in the Journal of Social Psychology, Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, vice president of research and innovation at Hogan, and colleagues examined the influence of personality information on men’s ratings of the physical attractiveness of photographs of women varying in body size from emaciated to obese.

Their results showed that personality information had a significant effect on the range of body sizes that participants judged to be physically attractive. Providing positive personality information resulted in participants rating a wider range of figures as attractive compared with the control group. Negative personality information resulted in a constricted range of figures being rated as attractive.

How else is your personality affecting your love life?
