Back in February, I wrote about the importance of personality assessments to make good career decisions. It featured an interview with Dr. Robert Hogan, co-founder of Hogan Assessment Systems and an international authority on personality, leadership and organizational effectiveness. Personality assessments identify blind spots, areas of strength and struggle, and help create a blueprint to better outcomes at work and home. Once you get your assessment results, now what?
In my experience, people are often initially unhappy with assessment results because they tend to focus on the negative aspects of their personality and ignore the positive aspects and opportunities that come with increased awareness. It reminds me of people who refuse to go to the doctor because they don’t want to be sick. It’s illogical. Regardless of whether or not you take an assessment, you still have the same traits and, if they are getting in the way and preventing you from achieving what you want, isn’t identification and a plan preferable to remaining in the dark with no hope of improvement?
