Hogan Personality Inventory

Abstract

This article describes the construction and validation of 7 scales for the California Psychological Inventory (Gough, 1975,1987) based on a socioanalytic interpretation of the Five-Factor Model. The scale construction differed from traditional rational and empirical approaches in that it regarded responses to personality items as speech acts-skilled performances that create an effect on an audience. Expected group differences across 10 samples (total N = 763) and relations with other personality inventory scores, vocational choice, educational achievement, drug use and anti-so-cia1 behavior, job performance, and observer ratings supported the construct validity of the scales. This article describes the construction of seven scales for the California Psychological Inventory (CPI; Gough, 1975,1987) designed to assess social performance. This set of scales, constructed in the late 1970s, prefigured the development of several personality inventories based on the Five Factor Model (FFM; Johnson, 1983) have mentioned these scales only in passing. By detailing the unique strategies underlying the construction of these CPI scales, this article clarifies the conditions under which FFM-based inventories such as the HPI and NEO-PI successfully predict real-life performance. The article is organized according to the four-step model of construct validation, called conceptual analysis, used by Gough (1987) to explicate the meaning of CPI scale scores. The article does not use the traditional method and results sections, although it does conclude with an overall discussion of the findings. Requests for reprints should be sent to

Investigating the Relationship Between Big Five Personality Traits and Cultural Intelligence on Football Coaches

“…These personality characteristics allow them to vary their behavior more effectively than those who are less extroverted. They are therefore more likely to deal with novel and unfamiliar intercultural interactions more effectively than introverts who are more limited, uncertain and inhibited (Hogan, 1986). Moreover, the adventurous disposition of the extroverts increases the tendency for curiosity about other cultures and exposure to new situations, and motivates them to try to participate in different cultural experiences.…”

“…-Agreeableness is a personality characteristic which enables a person to be generally friendly good natured, cooperative and flexible (Barrick and Mount, 1991;Goldberg, 1992;Hogan, 1986).Agreeable coaches are warm, likable, emotionally supportive and nurturing. In work contexts, employees with this characteristic show higher levels of interpersonal competency (Witt et al, 2002).This personality trait enables an individual to interact better with others in different social and cultural situations (Earley and Ang, 2003).…”

Self-concept clarity: Measurement, personality correlates, and cultural boundaries.

“…For example, Rosenberg's ( 1965 ) notion of self-concept stability focuses on the temporal stability of self-beliefs, whereas the constructs of role variability (Block, 1961a) and self-consistency (Gergen & Morse, 1967) address the internal consistency of self-beliefs. In addition, the Hogan Personality Inventory Identity scale (Hogan, 1986) and the Identity Integration scale (O'Brien & Epstein, 1988) focus on generalized certainty about the self, combined with manifestations of certainty such as decisiveness and well-defined longterm goals.…”

The Role of Noncognitive Constructs and Other Background Variables in Graduate Education

“…Facets include friendliness, gregariousness, assertiveness, activity level, excitement seeking, and cheerfulness. Hogan (1986) and Hough (1997) suggest that this factor can be divided into sociability or affiliativetiveness on the one hand (e.g., friendliness, gregariousness, cheerfulness), and ambition or potency on the other (e.g., assertiveness, activity level, excitement seeking). The factor of optimism is likely related to extraversion-it is a scale in the IPIP (Goldberg, 2001), and is related to the well-being scale in the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) (Gough, 1975).…”

“…Facets include imagination, artistic interests, emotionality, adventurousness, intellect, and liberalism. Hogan and Hogan (1995) differentiate the construct into intellectance (creativity) and school success (achievement orientation). Typical intellectual engagement (Goff & Ackerman, 1992), and need for cognition (Cacioppo, Petty, Feinstein, & Jarvis, 1996) (Gough, 1975), Comrey…”
