In the latest episode of the The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake to talk about values and culture fit and why it’s so crucial, particularly when it comes to executive selection. At Hogan we talk a lot about values. In fact, we think SO highly of values that we introduced an assessment that measures one’s values all the way back in 1996. Fast forward to 2025 and they are just as important, and arguably much more important, today that they’ve ever been. This is a topic that Ryne and his industry-leading data science team have focused on a lot recently, and we thought it was a great time to bring that work to the podcast.
