This "in general" is good advice. There are plenty of resources that talk about what the hogan measures. The company is now offering both the "light side" and "dark side" of the tests. The HPI is a measure of your personality on a 7 measure scale and assesses what you are like as a person on your best day (at work) while highly self-policing your behavior. The questions are asked similarly but with different weighting - sometimes vs. always - answers would pull your trait the same direction but at different magnitudes. Words like NEVER and ALWAYS....mean exactly that....ALWAYS means ALWAYS WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
The "dark side" test is a bit different. It's supposed to determine how you come undone under stress. They started using this battery in 2019-2020 along with the "turn the camera on" stuff.
What is unknown is what personality profiles UAL considered acceptable. Here is a sample from the hogan company about pilots:

There is an entire youtube channel about Hogan assessments. There isn't any gouge about how to "pass" but it explains the tests and the traits that are measured.
Another thing to consider - the first output of the results is a "validity score". This determines if the score is valid and interpretable or if the tester seemed to randomly select answers.
Here is a sample report:

This is probably the type of analysis report that UAL gets based on whatever traits they are looking to hire.
Something to consider - though there are 7 factors in this model - it might be possible that UAL is only looking at certain factors. For example - it may care less about ambition and school success but require targeted adjustment, sociability, prudence and likeability score. The sample report shows that of all the factors - the sample company was only looking specifically at 4 traits between the two tests. A test taker could seriously be sweating over a question that has no applicability to the trait UAL wants to assess.
Bottom line - it's nice to understand a bit more about the test and that knowledge may help you "pass" it by understanding that it's not some kind of trick. What constitutes an "acceptable profile" is a complete unknown ...
