Hogan released its second annual Business Outcome Highlights report today.

Points of interest from the study include:
- 88% of studies showed a strong, positive impact on key performance metrics
- High-fit managers exceeded profitability goals by $80,000 over moderate fit groups and by $180,000 over no fit groups
- Employees hired using the Hogan Safety Report had 40% fewer accidents
- Hogan solutions given usefulness rating of 96 out of 100 by nearly 500 leaders at a Fortune 100 technology company
- More than 20% increase in predictive power over other selection systems
Built on more than a century of scientific study, Hogan's personality assessment solutions are backed by an unmatched archive of more than 300 criterion-related validity studies and the largest team of dedicated doctorate- and masters-level Industrial-Organizational Psychology professionals in the industry.

Dealing appropriately with failure and blame is paramount to managerial success.
Unfortunately, it is also the area of personality in which many people display dysfunctional tendencies - extrapunitive types are prone to unfairly blaming others, while impunitive types refuse to acknowledge failure or deny their role in it. Intropunitive types often judge themselves too harshly and imagine failure where none exists.
Dr. Robert Hogan and co-author Ben Dattner explore these three broad categories of personality and how each deals with failure in their article "Managing Yourself: Can You Handle Failure?" published in the March edition of the Harvard Business Review.

Last year produced some of the worst workplace tragedies in recent history: an offshore oil rig explosion killed 11 and spilled more than 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico; a West Virginia mine coal mine explosion killed 29 workers; and an explosion at an under-construction Connecticut power plant killed six and injured 30 others.
Unfortunately, so long as safety initiatives follow conventional wisdom, this year's headlines will likely tell of similar incidents. Hogan's latest safety whitepaper, "Averting Disaster," explores the impact of individual personality on some of 2010's worst workplace catastrophes and how they could have been avoided.

Occupational Health & Safety Magazine spoke recently with consultant Dr. Kevin Meyer about personality assessment and Hogan's innovative approach to workplace safety, which combines traditional education and training with I-O Psychology to identify accident-prone workers and managerial disconnects and create a corporate culture of safety awareness. An exerpt follows:
Would your coworkers describe you as a Defiant Dave or a Debbie Downer? Or are you more of a Cheerful Charlie or Happy-Go-Lucky Lucy? Your personality traits-how you react to bad news, your reasoning ability, and how inquisitive you are-could determine whether or not you get hired for a job or how your job performance is evaluated.
According to Hogan Assessment Systems, a consulting firm that specializes in personality assessment, a burgeoning trend in workplace safety is merging traditional safety education and training with industrial and organizational psychology. Hogan Assessment says companies need to delve deeper into the psyche of employees in an effort to resolve existing safety issues or establish a solid culture of safety.
