JUDGMENT
Making Good Decisions
More than IQ. Judgment is about making good decisions.
It’s clear that some people have better judgment 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.
Real decision-making is rapid, biased, and subconscious. We only rationalize our decisions after the fact. Having good judgment mostly concerns fixing (or not repeating) bad decisions.
The first to combine cognitive ability, bright- and dark-side personality, and values, the Hogan Judgment 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.
