Comparison
Tilt365 vs Hogan Assessments
Both are serious instruments. They were built to answer different questions, and most of the confusion in buying decisions comes from not naming which question you actually have.
Hogan's core strength is prediction — how is this person likely to behave, especially when they derail? Tilt365's core strength is development — what can this person change, and did it change? If you're hiring, that distinction points one way. If you're developing people already in post, it points the other.

What Hogan is genuinely good at
Hogan has decades of published validation in selection contexts, and the dark-side derailment work is well regarded for good reason. If your question is whether to put a specific person into a high-stakes role, that evidence base is real and Tilt365 doesn't try to replicate it.
- Strong published track record in pre-hire and executive selection
- Derailment risk profiling is its distinctive contribution
- Widely recognised by executive search and assessment centres
Where it struggles as a development tool
The same design choices that make an instrument good at prediction make it awkward for development. A measure built to be stable over a lifetime is, by construction, a measure that won't show progress.
- Traits are designed not to move, so there's no meaningful before-and-after
- Interpretation is typically gated behind certified practitioners, adding cost per debrief
- Priced per administration, which discourages repeat measurement
- Risk-framed language can land as a verdict rather than a development agenda
What Tilt365 does instead
Tilt365 measures 12 character strengths — behaviours a person chooses — across four patterns, plus how each shifts under pressure. Because character is developable, the score is meant to move, and re-measuring is included rather than billed.
- 12 developable character strengths, not fixed traits
- Calm-state and pressure-state profiles on every report
- Unlimited retakes inside the annual subscription
- Plain-language reports a leader can read without a practitioner present
- Team and organisation rollups, not just individual output
