I would absolutely disagree with that, as would probably everybody who has ever been a 91, 135 or 121 Chief Pilot.
And in real life, can you actually tell me you believe that a major airline company that uses the Hogan routinely has fewer problem child aviators than a major airline that doesn't? And that you believe the difference if any us actually attributable to the Hogan?
No I can't tell you that, I don't have the data.
I do have a hard time believing organizations would use psych evals (with associated costs) if THEY didn't firmly believe they provided value in the recruiting process.
