Hogrefe Digital Assessment

What Hogrefe Digital Assessment does

Hogrefe Digital Assessment is the French subsidiary (Editions Hogrefe France SAS) of Hogrefe Publishing Group, a family-owned German psychological assessment publisher founded in 1949. The company serves two primary customer segments: clinical psychology professionals (psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists) who use Hogrefe instruments for diagnostic and developmental assessments, and HR professionals who use the same portfolio for recruitment, leadership evaluation, and psychosocial risk assessment. A secondary academic channel provides free or reduced-cost access to Master's students, doctoral researchers, and educators to build long-term familiarity with the Hogrefe portfolio.

The core technology is the HTS 5 (Hogrefe Testing System) digital assessment platform, which enables online test administration, automated scoring, and reporting for the full instrument portfolio. Hogrefe markets approximately 2,300 standardized psychological and HR assessments developed through a network of 6,900 authors and reviewers, organized into categories such as autism spectrum disorders (ADOS-2, ADI-R, ESA, PDD-MRS), executive functions (BRIEF-2), personality (NEO-PI-3, BIP), intelligence (the upcoming IDS-2 for ages 5–19), and HR assessments including management and stress tools. Many instruments require formal certification, creating a training and credentialing layer around the software.

Hogrefe generates revenue through a mix of recurring digital subscriptions (test credits, per-administration fees on HTS 5), one-time sales of physical test kits and manuals, and professional services from training and certification programs. The group operates 24 sites across 18 countries, including regional offices in Paris, Göttingen, Bern, Vienna, Oxford, Boston, Amsterdam, Prague, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Madrid, Lisbon, Oslo, Florence, São Paulo, Mexico City, and Bogotá. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily direct through an e-commerce platform and a regional field sales force, supported by marketing channels including clinical and HR webinars, email newsletters, professional training programs, and academic content partnerships.
