HOGAN BUSINESS REASONING INVENTORYHBRIINTRODUCTIONThe Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI) evaluates a person’s ability to solve problems andmake business-related decisions using textual, graphic, and quantitative data. Many psychologistsbelieve that cognitive ability is the single best predictor of occupational performance and otherimportant outcomes, including health, wealth, and life satisfaction. The HBRI is the fi rst measureof reasoning ability based on a theory of intelligence and designed exclusively to predict real-worldperformance.The HBRI is based on evolutionary psychology. Within this context, intelligence is a function of metarepresentationalcompetence, the ability to refl ect on one’s past actions, determine where theproblems have occurred, and then devise methods to avoid repeating those problems in the future.Individual differences in this cognitive capacity enhance performance in every signifi cant domain ofhuman action.designed to predictreal-world performance
