Judgement
You make thousands of decisions every day, from the mundane to the momentous. How many will you get right?
Judgement is about making good decisions.
Real decision-making is rapid, biased, and subconscious. And we rationalise our decisions after the fact. Having good judgement mostly concerns fixing (or not repeating) bad decisions.
More than IQ.
It’s clear that some people have better judgement than others. But what sets them apart? Although most people would say intelligence, that doesn’t account for the abundance of very smart people who continually make very bad decisions.
The Hogan Judgement Model separates judgement into three distinct areas:
Learn
How you prefer to learn
How quickly you process complex information affects your decisions. Some people prefer to think in terms of words and images, and some people prefer to think in terms of numbers and symbols.
Decide
How you make decisions
Your personality determines the bias in your decision-making process, whether it’s avoiding threats vs. seeking rewards, thinking tactically vs. thinking strategically, or relying on data vs. trusting your gut.
Adapt
How you react to decisions
At some point, you’ll make a bad decision. Will you accept the blame and change course, or will you double down? What you do next will determine the course of your career, and perhaps your company.
Introducing the Hogan Judgement Report
The first to combine cognitive ability, bright- and dark-side personality, and values, the Hogan Judgement assessment consists of two brief measures related to verbal and numerical reasoning, three independent scales that assess non-cognitive attributes that influence how an individual approaches decisions, and an assessment of post-decision reactions, including responses to negative feedback.
The Hogan Judgement Report draws on this powerful new assessment and provides an in-depth description of participants’ information-processing style, decision-making approach, decision-making style, reactions to feedback, and openness to feedback and coaching. Good judgement involves being willing to acknowledge and fix bad decisions, and learn from experience. Armed with this powerful knowledge, participants can improve their decision-making and judgement.
