Prelim vs. Hogan Assessments
Hogan is the gold standard in personality science. Prelim matches that depth and adds everything a modern hiring process also needs — SJTs, cognitive testing, 360° feedback, and same-day results.
Feature comparison.
| Dimension | Prelim | Hogan Assessments |
|---|---|---|
| Personality assessment depth | Validated personality assessment covering Big Five, derailer, and values dimensions | Gold-standard personality science — Big Five (HPI), derailers (HDS), and values (MVPI) built on 40+ years of validation research |
| Assessment types offered | 9+ validated assessment types — personality, SJT, cognitive, 360°, technical, and more in one platform | Personality reports only (HPI, HDS, MVPI) — no SJT, cognitive, or 360° built in |
| Situational judgment tests | Built in, scored alongside personality and cognitive data | Not offered |
| 360-degree feedback | Built in for leadership and executive roles | Not offered |
| Cognitive ability testing | Built in, integrated into one candidate score alongside personality | Not offered |
| Turnaround time | Same-day results | Typically 4–6 weeks per candidate (certified-consultant interpretation and report delivery) |
| Pricing model | SaaS subscription — predictable per-seat or per-assessment pricing | Typically $10,000–$50,000 per candidate, consultant-delivered |
| ATS integration | Native integrations — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SAP, REST API | No native ATS integration — standalone reports |
| Predictive analytics | Built-in predictive scoring and benchmarking across your hiring data | Normative comparison within personality data; no cross-assessment predictive layer |
| Validation research | Assessments validated against hiring outcomes across technical, leadership, and non-IT roles | Four decades of peer-reviewed personality-science validation research, widely cited in I-O psychology |
Choose Prelim if…See how Prelim works
You need Hogan-level personality insight plus situational judgment, cognitive, and 360° feedback in one platform
Same-day turnaround matters — you can't wait 4–6 weeks per candidate
You're hiring at volume and a $10,000–$50,000-per-candidate price point doesn't scale
You need ATS-integrated assessment infrastructure, not one-off consultant reports
Choose Hogan if…
Your only requirement is standalone personality assessment with the deepest validation research available
You're doing executive coaching or development work where a certified consultant's interpretation is the deliverable, not a hiring decision
Budget and turnaround time are not constraints
The bottom line.
Choose Prelim when you need Hogan-caliber personality science plus situational judgment, cognitive, and 360° assessment in one same-day, ATS-integrated platform — not a single report type on a multi-week turnaround.
