Keynote Speaker: Prof. Dr. Robert Hogan, CEO & founder of Hogan Assessment Systems

Robert Hogan is a reputable psychologist, well known for his innovations in personality studies and leadership. He is an international authority on personality who has been positively impacting he psychological community since the 1960s, having the largest and best-regarded thought-leadership in the industry and advancing the science of personality. Dr. Hogan is one the first psychologists to prove that personality predicts performance and organizational effectiveness, in a variety of areas, ranging from organizational climate and leadership to selection and effective team performance.

In a new study published in Psychology, Dr. Robert Hogan, was nominated by his peers as a top psychologist in multiple categories.

The study, conducted by the University College London and the Norwegian Business School, asked psychologists to nominate the person they consider the “Greatest Living Psychologist.” Dr. Hogan was one of 10 psychologists to receive multiple nominations for this distinction.

Dr. Hogan, who is widely known for his groundbreaking research on personality and how it translates to organizational and leadership effectiveness, was also ranked among the top five greatest personality psychologists. This group consisted of famous psychologists, such as Sigmund Freud, Hans Eysenck, Gordon Allport and Carl Jung.

“It is hard to imagine a modern psychologist who has influenced more peers in science—or more leaders in the world of business—than Robert Hogan,” says Rob Kaiser, President of Kaiser Leadership Solutions. “When he started in the 1960s, conventional wisdom held that personality doesn’t matter. Thanks to Hogan’s tireless efforts, we all know better—and have the tools for assessing, selecting, and developing the right people into the right roles for the right reasons.”

In the early 80s, Dr. Hogan founded Hogan Assessments, and ever since, the company’s footprint has grown exponentially. Now Hogan Assessments is offering premium tools and services in more than 56 countries and 47 languages, serving more than half of the Fortune 500 companies.

Dr. Hogan is the author of more than 300 journal articles, chapters and books including Personality and the Fate of Organizations (2006). His recent author, co-author and editing credits also include: The Hogan Guide (2007), Personality: Theories and Applications (2008), The Handbook of Personality Psychology (1997), The Perils of Accentuating the Positive (2009), the Hogan Personality Inventory, the Hogan Development Survey, the Motives Values and Preferences Inventory and the Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory.

Dr. Hogan received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in personality assessment. He served as McFarlin Professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at The University of Tulsa for 17 years. Prior to that, Dr. Hogan was professor of Psychology and Social Relations at Johns Hopkins University. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Society for Industrial/ Organizational Psychology.
