How many scales are included in the Hogan Development Survey (HDS)?
Answer: 11
The HDS contains 11 scales, each corresponding to a subclinical personality disorder pattern from the DSM framework.
The HDS is primarily designed to measure personality characteristics that emerge:

HDS derailers are risk factors that typically surface under stress, pressure, boredom, or when a person drops their guard.
Which HDS scale describes individuals who are overly suspicious, distrustful, and likely to question others' motives?
Answer: Skeptical
The Skeptical scale reflects cynicism, distrust, and a tendency to see hidden agendas in others' behavior.
A leader who scores high on the HDS Bold scale is most at risk for:
Answer: Overestimating their abilities and ignoring critical feedback
High Bold scorers have an inflated sense of self-worth, resist feedback, and may take excessive risks due to overconfidence.
The HDS Excitable scale describes individuals who tend to:
Answer: Have intense emotional reactions and quickly lose enthusiasm for projects
Excitable reflects emotional volatility — initial enthusiasm followed by frustration, disappointment, and withdrawal.
The HDS Leisurely scale is best characterized by:
Answer: Outward compliance but covert resistance when unhappy
Leisurely individuals appear cooperative on the surface but become resistant, stubborn, and passive-aggressive when they feel put upon.
In HDS scoring, what range is typically considered to indicate a 'significant risk' derailer that warrants developmental attention?

HDS scores at or above the 90th percentile signal a significant derailer risk requiring active development or coaching intervention.
