I'm only trying to get some more discussion going based on what is known about the process for those who want to know what to expect.
As to the 1 in 10 failure rate, I believe the source to be fairly credible, but even reliable sources get their information confused sometimes. If anyone has heard anything to the contrary, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
From a good source of mine that is involved with the hiring process regarding the Hogan test... Supposedly when CV was at the helm, the merit of the test was discussed and his reasoning for supporting it was that the way many individuals handled themselves (poorly) following a thanks but no thanks from not passing the test further supported his belief that the test was doing an acceptable job of weeding out candidates. If this is indeed the case, it wasn't just HR that supported the Hogan test, but CV himself. Now that he has moved on, who knows if BK also believes the test to be of value to their process.
