What is Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment?
The PI Behavioral Assessment™ is a simple yet effective assessment that is broken down into four primary behavioral factors, or core drives. These core drives and their relation to each other create a behavioral pattern that provides a framework for understanding the workplace behaviors of candidates and employees. According to the vendor, the results allow users to better predict workplace behaviors and motivating needs.
The PI Behavioral Assessment™ is a scientifically validated, free-choice, stimulus response assessment that was created through a normative sample of thousands of people. It has been investigated in nearly 500 criterion-related validity studies across almost all jobs and countries, built to the standards of the American Psychological Association (APA), Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychologists (SIOP), and the International Test Commission (ITC).

You must have Predictive Index in your toolbox!
Predictive Index [Behavioral Assessment] is used in a variety of ways at my organization. We use it to create job targets and then help to match the right candidates to those targets using workplace behaviors as indicators. The tool also helps us ask the right questions of the candidates to ensure their success in the role.
[Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment] is also used as a method to facilitate and improve communication and collaboration across teams comprised of people who are wired differently. HR supported and coached managers on how to manage based on their profile and how to manage others who were different.
My organization enjoyed having their profiles publicly displayed so employees would know how to spark up a conversation with a colleague. Employees needing support, would seek guidance from the certified analysts in multiple scenarios.

Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment Review
The Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment is being used as a recruiting tool. As a recruiter, I like the fact that it can be used to gauge how each applicant fits into our work culture. It gives me an idea as to how they learn, and yes, even a little glimpse into their personality. Only management and the HR department use this program.
- Gives insights about how each applicant learns
- Advises or gives ideas as to how to train then in ways that relate to how they learn
- It gives the company an idea (not written in stone) if the applicant would be a great fit for our work culture.
- It's a learning tool for our managers and administrators.
- I don't think it needs any improvement other than its customer service.
- Maybe switch questions around so that they are not so cookie cutter questions.

Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment Survey
The Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment is used as a tool for determining if candidates are a good cultural fit for our company, to find out what method of learning and supervising works for each individual candidate.
- It gauges whether or not the candidate is a good fit for the position we're hiring for.
- Informs the managers to figure out the way each candidate should be managed.
- Although it's not written in stone, it does real good in getting to the know the way the candidate learns.
- I don't believe it needs anything else
- It is already integrating the results for each candidate in our applicant tracking system.
- I believe it should automatically send a copy to the applicant.

We purchased the Predictive Index primarily to assist us in recruiting a sales team. I have found the product to be very insightful. As a new member of management at CVR it has given me invaluable insight to my colleagues, and assisted me immediately in giving effective coaching feedback. I have been able to analyze team behaviors and group dynamics using the insprire module. I was floored by how accurate the Predictive Index is in assessing behaviors of myself and my colleagues. Everyone who has taken it within our company is equally impressed. I am excited to use it to assess and hire the best candidates for sales.
- Assesses behavior
- Provides tips for navigating relationships
- The interview questions it provides are spot on. The guide is perfect for both the new and experienced managers.
- It takes time to fully understand the relationships of the factors. You need to attend the training to fully understand the effectively utilize the product.
- The Catalyst function is still growing. Having more on demand training will be the most effective way for me to fully utilize the system.
- I need training targeted for hiring managers, not just PI Masters.

Our organization uses the Predictive Index Assessment as a communication tool as well as a recruiting tool. The entire organization uses the PI, however, we see most benefit in our leadership teams.
- The capability to accurately define a person's strengths and needs
- Customer support. I have found them to always be quick to respond and helpful.
- Constant updates/upgrades to the system
- Adding PDF capabilities in their beta program (in process)

PI for candidate use
PI Behavioral Assessment is utilized once we identify an applicant that we'd like to move forward with. It's used as one of our first steps to see if the applicant would be a good fit for our culture, as well as for the position/department they are applying for. Everyone gets their PI placard on their first day with an overview of how to read their results. We also offer a learning and development workshop a few times a year to really dive into what results mean.
- Clear explanation of results and what they mean
- Visual representation of results
- Easy to use program
- Not sure that it's technically a PI Behavioral Assessment issue, but my company has recently integrated PI with our ATS Clear Company. It doesn't always integrate, but that may be on their end.

The PI software is used by the HR department to assess candidates for job openings. We have also used it to evaluate employees to help guide and coach them in their current position. The PI software very accurately describes people, their strengths, and their weaknesses. It allows you to get a strong insight on somebody so that you can gear each interview so that you can ask specific questions to get answers on strengths and weaknesses.
- The PI software does a fantastic job describing a person. It is actually exciting to get results.
- You are able to coach and train employees in their current positions because the PI software helps you see where employees need to grow.
- You are able to set a job pattern PI so that you can match candidates to the job pattern. This is very useful when you have a lot of applicants for a specific job.
- The only thing that needs working on is the beta site. That's why it's in beta, though. Some of the functions aren't working properly yet, but they will be and I am very excited for that.

Incredibly Impactful Tool
We use PI across the entire life cycle of an employee. We ID a PRO for new and existing positions we're hiring for and administer PI early in our recruitment process to evaluate fit of an individual to the role. For applicants that we interview in person, we debrief them on their PI so they have a better understanding of themselves and the demands of the role that align or may be more of a stretch for them. All new hires have access to their PI Report, Quick View and PI Development tools within our Talent Management system for easy reference and development discussions with their manager. I facilitate team PI sessions utilizing the many tools available via the PI Catalyst site to foster better working relationships between a manager and employee, collegue to colleague, and entire teams.
- Spot on assessment with a well written, positively framed debrief/report
- Development tool outlining strengths, cautions and self coaching based on PI pattern to foster self awareness and focused development
- Tremendous resources within the Catalyst site for users and administrators - this has been an outstanding addition for PI
- PRO patterns to be able to gauge applicant fit to a role
- Recent improvements and content available via Catalyst has addressed the majority of what I would've previously said was "missing."
- Better partnership and resources offered from the partners that "sell" PI services. Our local partnership is non-existent and we are continually under impressed with them.

We use PI across the global organization for all job types except blue collar workers in our warehouses. We use it in recruitment, in promotion/transfer discussions and as part of our leadership development program. At the time of introduction we had more than 60 managers certified in the tool, so that we could quickly get a common understanding and common language about the PI tool, and how to use it ethically and effectively.
- Many similar tools are long-winded at the assessee level, and PI is outstanding in that the assessee feels it is easy to participate, and it feels less like a "test" than many others. That is a significant benefit at the recruiting end.
- The PI Tool allows the assessee and the assessor to have a productive discussion about personality traits - and the added benefit of handing over a description afterwards, which helps the assessee take on board all that was talked about - also, where their personality might not be the perfect fit for the organization or the job.
- From an organizational perspective, the tool helps the organization discuss diversity and build a team that is complementary - and avoid the "hiring in your own image" [pitfall]. Managers are able to understand the implications of having a team with high A's or low A's - and is much more willing to discuss team constellations with the insights from PI.
- I find it particularly complex to find the set of clicks that leads to job profile comparison. Considering the importance of the tool, it should have a more prominent position on the tabs.
- I would really like to see the PI and LI be better Integrated - example: you should have a choice of displaying the LI score with the personality report.
- For organizational use - it would be extremely helpful if there was a method by which you could display a miniature picture of the pattern, which could be downloaded somehow. The reporting ability could be further build out.
- Allow data from the system to be extracted to Excel.

Our company currently uses PI Behavioral Assessment within the Sales Department. During our validation period with a potential new franchise owner we have them complete the PI as well as the Cognitive Assessments to compare their behavioral traits to the baseline we have created in Job PRO. This allows us to see if our candidate has traits that would make a good franchisee. It also allows us to see where our potential and current franchisees may need support and coaching.
The use of this allows us to eliminate candidates that may not have the traits of a successful franchisee, as well as prevents the candidate from committing financially to a concept that they may not excel at. Having the right fit is as important for us as it is for the candidate looking for a concept.

- Compare behavior to a job PRO, taking out the guess work.
- Training is incredible.
- Providing insight into interviewing and coaching.
- Ease and ability to run it within our CRM system.
- Connect the Cognitive PLI within the PI platform.
- The interview questions provided begin to feel redundant.

We use PI throughout our firm. We've used it to define the right candidate for specific roles, to find out more about candidates and to optimize team dynamics. We've been able to save time in the recruiting process and to truly hire for fit.
- PI allows you to find out about a candidate or an employee by having them fill out a very short survey. The report is concise and helpful.
- The PI allows you to hire for fit and saves time by giving you additional information prior to the interview stage.
- I'm quite happy with the software - they are constantly trying to improve. I've seen some great changes over that past 2 years.
- I guess I would say that it would be helpful if it were easier to compare candidates on the same page and have a report that outlines the key differences in candidates.

We have been using PI as a whole organization, for all departments, and for 4 years now at my company. PI has helped us place ensure we are hiring the right people for a job, and we've had a lot of proven success with this. It's also great to understand employees' motivating needs, to ensure they are happy in the workplace which will then increase productivity.
PI has recently implemented new software which has streamlined some things, and I do know they are working on another new site as well, so they are "keeping up with the times" and continuously improving.
- Recruitment
- Retention
- Motivating employees
- Expensive training for administrators of the PI in companies
When my organization first adopted the use of PI Behavioral Assessment, it was for the main purpose of providing a new data set to analyze during the recruitment process. However, it quickly became apparent that there were many other uses for the PI. Within the first year, we built a Team Building & Conflict Resolution Training that used the PI as an informative, fact-based awareness tool to help our teams better understand each other and themselves. We completed PI read backs for all our current staff and recently we have begun conducting PI read backs with each new hire during their orientation on day one. We also review their manager's PI and those of their team members so they have a better understanding of the driving needs and behaviors they can expect from day one.
- The assessment is simple and easy to take. From the perspective of potential candidates, we wanted to offer them something that wouldn't take them 30 minutes or more to complete. Searching for a job is time-consuming and taxing enough, we don't want to burden people any more than necessary.
- The data that the PI Behavioral Assessment provides is the most accurate of all the various assessments that we experimented with. The hardest thing to gauge during the interview process is culture fit. The PI gives us an advantage that no other assessment offers; a look into the crystal ball of the all illusive question of culture and job fit.
- For management training and employee relations issues, the data from the PI Assessment is invaluable. Imagine that you are trying to hang a picture on the wall by using a sponge to drive the nail in. You can try all day and even question your handy-man abilities, but the bottom line is...you need a hammer. The PI Assessment is the exact tool you need to take your management training and employee relations issues to the next level and drive home results.
- The PI Behavioral Assessment has been around for a long time. However, there is a lack of connection within the local community of companies that also use the PI with whom we can network and share ideas and practices. Annual retreats in our specific area or social media sites specific for our regions would be a great addition.
- It can be cost prohibitive when your industry takes a downturn.
- There is not a way for our company to tie the assessment invitation directly into our Applicant Tracking System. This creates a very manual process of sending assessments whenever we have a job opening.

Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment Review
We use PI Behavioral Assessment in our selection process for every position within the company. Once on-boarded we also use the results for coaching, training, and effective management.
- PI provides a great tool, with service to support any time we have a question on the results or how to use them.
- The tool is reliable and valid, we can trust it to produce accurate results.
- They are always innovating to make their product and platform better.
- There is nothing I can think of.
In our company we use the Predictive Index in our hiring process to ensure a good job fit. We also use it in enhancing team dynamics and productivity. Most recently, it is becoming an initial focal point in our succession planning process. Not only will the PRO help us define those behaviors and skillsets needed most in a position, but it will give us another tool for evaluating potential successors and in creating the development opportunities needed for those successors to be ready when we have change in our organization.
- Ease of use from a desktop or mobile perspective.
- Excellent new tools such as the Placard.
- Job fit identification.
- While not necessarily a weakness in the assessment, it does require initial and ongoing training to really understand and gain the most benefits from the assessment.

Our company has been using the PI Behavioral Assessments for the past 3 years, having moved from another behavior assessment we were using. We have found a great deal of value with the information the PI assessments provide. The assessments allow us to more easily screen candidates to match to open positions within our organization. We use the PI to profile open positions within our company that we then match candidates to. Not only do we use the PI to match applicants to job openings we use the information from the assessments of current employees for team building and to improve employee/management communication as well as employee development.
- Very easy to administer
- Information is provided in a positive manner
- Reports are clear and easy to understand
- The PI training is thorough and allows you to gain a much better understanding of the assessment results
- A refresher training course would be helpful from time to time.

PI will improve your workplace
We began using the Predictive Index in human resources. However, it didn't take long before the assessment was adopted by other departments. Today we are using the PI Behavioral Assessment across our organization and we have seen organizational improvements. This assessment really does what it claims to do, it decodes humans. The PI has helped managers to improve working relationships with their employees and it has also been a very valuable tool in our organization's selection process.
- Easy and simple to use!
- Generates concise and very accurate results.
- Great tech support is provided if you ever run into issues using the software.
- Job applicants have asked questions regarding the general questions asked on the link before the PI Assessment begins.
- I would recommend creating an option for applications to bypass the general questions before the assessment.

PI Assessments are essential for workplace success!
PI is used within various departments at our company, but primarily begins with the Human Resources department. It's a tool we use for hiring, team communication, and employee relations issues. For many of our positions, we have a PRO profile, meaning that we have an ideal PI profile for someone to be successful in their position. It is not a requirement for someone to have this profile to have success, but it is useful in identifying areas that may be not so natural for someone in their role based on their own PI profile. It is only one piece of the puzzle for an employee, not the end all be all.
- Comparison of PI Pro profiles to potential applicants.
- Useful training and accessibility of the site.
- Application of the drives and motivations.
- Explanation of M Factor scores.
- Ease of use for new individuals searching the access PI site.
- Community usage should be made available to all trained PI personnel.
- Ideally would like to see potential "conflict points" when comparing two individual profiles together.
