Which Assessment Is Right for Your Organisation?
The market for personality and leadership diagnostics has become hard to read. Personality Guidance evaluates assessment tools independently, names their strengths and limits openly, and helps you find the solution that fits your HR strategy in Switzerland. Our basis is the Ampelkompass (a red-amber-green rating model, "Ampel" being German for traffic light), our structured tool for evaluating diagnostic assessments.
More providers, less clarity: How do you make the right choice?
Every year, new personality, potential and leadership assessments enter the market. The promises sound alike, the terminology is inconsistent, and whether a tool actually delivers often only becomes clear after it has been rolled out.
Personality Guidance helps you compare diagnostic tools systematically, evaluate them on the merits and implement them so that they make a difference in your organisation.

The market is growing faster than the guidance.
Four questions HR leaders and executive teams ask us again and again:
Quality & scientific foundation
Which tools are psychometrically sound, and which rely mainly on good marketing?
Value & validity
Which results actually support a people decision, and which remain description without consequence?
Strategic fit
Which tool matches what we really want to achieve in selection, talent development and leadership?
Cost-effectiveness & integration
Where is the balance between investment and return right, and what can be built into our existing HR processes without friction?
A rating model instead of a gut feeling
The Ampelkompass is our model for comparing diagnostic tools against a uniform set of criteria. Each criterion is rated red, amber or green; the result is an overview that shows at a glance where a tool is strong and where it is not.
The criteria include, among others: target group and purpose, scientific foundation, practical validity, cost and licensing model, ease of use, scalability, integration into existing HR processes, and fit with your organisation’s strategy.
This gives you a transparent picture of which tools meet your requirements, and which you can rule out with confidence.
Grounded. Independent. Practical.
We bring order to a market that is difficult to judge from the outside. Our ratings rest on psychometric standards, on years of applying diagnostic tools in Swiss companies, and on continuous observation of the market. We evaluate on the merits, without a predetermined preference for any product.
Beyond diagnostic quality, we examine:
- whether a tool is actually used in day-to-day work
- whether leaders and employees accept the results
- how it fits into your HR and talent processes
- what it contributes to the development of your organisation We do not sell a particular tool.
We find out which tool delivers the most for your organisation.

Ich arbeite seit mehr als 6 Jahren mit den Hogan Assessments und setze sie vielseitig ein: in Auswahlverfahren, als erste Standortanalyse in Entwicklungsprozessen, als Basis für Teamentwicklungen und auch im Bereich der Unternehmensanalysen. Die Hogan Assessments sind vielfältig einsetzbar und liefern detaillierte Ergebnisse. Definitiv mein “go to“ Assessment.
