Our Assessments
Persona 28 brings together three complementary forms of leadership assessment: established personality science, multi-rater feedback, and leadership simulations that show how leaders behave in realistic situations.
01
Leadership Performance Simulations
What does this leader actually do when the situation is live?
Persona 28 simulations place leaders inside realistic organizational situations and make their choices observable. The amount of evidence should match the breadth of the conclusion, so the simulations come in three depths.
MicroSim
About ten minutes.
MicroSim is a focused leadership simulation. You enter a realistic leadership situation, interact with AI colleagues, make decisions in your own words, and receive your P28 Snapshot Report.
It is intentionally a snapshot. It is the simplest way to experience how Persona 28 assesses leadership in action.
LeaderSim
About 60 minutes. Currently offered as a pilot.
See how leaders actually lead.
LeaderSim is an AI-powered leadership simulation built around a realistic business case, running about 60 minutes.
Leaders enter the simulation with a role, a mandate, a leadership team, and incomplete information.
As the situation unfolds, they choose where to focus, whom to involve, what to ask, what to challenge, and when and how to act.
The result is observable evidence of leadership behavior—not simply what a leader says they would do.
ExecutiveSim
About two hours. Currently offered as a pilot.
Leadership simulation for the complexity of executive roles.
ExecutiveSim extends the simulation approach to senior executives facing broader organizational complexity, competing stakeholders, strategic ambiguity, and enterprise-level decisions.
It is designed to provide deeper evidence about how an executive leads when the stakes, complexity, and number of competing demands increase.
02
Hogan Assessments
What enduring tendencies, motives, strengths and risks does this leader bring?
Hogan personality assessments provide evidence about the enduring tendencies leaders bring to work.
They help organizations understand strengths, potential derailers, values, and the patterns of behavior leaders are likely to demonstrate over time.
Well-constructed personality assessment is one of the most rigorously studied tools in applied psychology. Hogan in particular has decades of peer-reviewed research behind it, including research linking its personality measures to workplace performance and derailment-related leadership behavior.¹,²
Persona 28 is an authorized Hogan distributor.
03
Leadership Versatility Index 360
How is this leader experienced by the people around them?
The Leadership Versatility Index 360 provides evidence about how a leader is currently experienced by the people around them.
It examines whether leaders can balance opposing but complementary leadership approaches and adapt their behavior to what different situations require.³
Where personality describes what a leader is disposed to do, multi-rater feedback describes how that leader has actually been experienced — evidence accumulated across relationships and over time.
How they work together
Different evidence. One picture.
Hogan helps us understand the enduring tendencies a leader brings to the role.
The LVI 360 shows us how the leader is experienced by the people around them.
Leadership simulations answer a different question:
How does the leader actually lead?
Different aspects of a person. Different forms of evidence. One picture.
