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).

Solid tool for maintaining a strong culture
The tool provides insight for both current employees and potential prospects into what makes people "tick." It's provided insights that are leveraged in a variety of areas including internal corporate communications, recruiting, and more. It's a great way to see if candidates will mesh with your organization as you conduct the hiring process.
- recruiting - determining fit
- coaching - current employees and teams
- Provided training isn't the most engaging
- Occasional difficulty navigating the tool (changes to UI/setting locations)
We use Predictive Index Behavioral Assessments widely in our organization as both part of the onboarding process and to assess current employees. This intuitive platform goes a long way to ensure organizations onboard the right person for the right role and play a huge part in employee retention. The training was also thorough and efficient.
- Intuitive and easy to use.
- Assessments are easy - just two questions!
- Plays a huge part in placing the right person in the right role in the organization.
- It can be pricey, but worth it.
- Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate menus
- May cause inexperienced organizations to narrow the funnel too far on hires.
[Both our] recruitment and orientation team use the Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment in order to determine what assets our possible new hires will bring to our organization and how we can help develop other skills [the team] would like to see. We also use [the recruit's] results as part of our orientation so they can think about what [to] work on and improve.
- Helps candidates think about their skills
- User friendly
- Candidates might think about other skills they would like to develop
- Explain the questions differently.
- Some times new hires have a hard time understanding the question
- Adding more than two questions
- Add scenarios and how they relate to their skills depending on their position

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 shows you what a resume cannot
We use PI when hiring for all positions. Administrative all the way down to cashiers. We look for specific patterns when hiring a cashier, like high Bs. For our line preps, we want low Cs for quick production.
- In-person training classes are amazing. There are all types and can be at their location or will come to our town.
- Training classes online and webinars are very helpful learning new products on the website.
- The website is easy to use and well organized.
- The end product is very accurate. People are really surprised that the simple test shows them so much about themselves.
- The price can be a little high for a smaller business but they might have different tiers. Not sure.
- The website is always helpful, but I have seen 3 design changes in it since I start using it 5 years ago. Hard to find things at first.
- They seem to add more features each year. Which is normally ok, but I don't use them all and it can get cluttered.

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.

PI Review
We use The PI across our organization in everything from interviews to career planning. Understanding our associates and how we can effectively communicate to support our culture and remain open to innovation is very important to Benco. It all starts with our associates! PI helps to bridge departments and match individuals making sure we are creating successful partnerships. The tools are great for finding the starting point in crucial conversations and when addressing sensitive situations that may arise between co-workers. Finding common grounds and paths consistent with both, or more, parties can help direct a conversation in the right direction.
- Aiding in formulating interview questions in line with the specific role requirements.
- Providing a snapshot of easy to read breakdown of motivators, needs, and perceptions for an individual. This is a great summary to have of yourself and your team!

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.

New to PI and I LOVE it!
Currently we are using PI Behavioral Assessment for screening new hires. The Assessment gives us a good starting point for reviewing candidates as well as questions to ask during the interview process. We will be introducing it to our current team in October. We hope that the Assessment will enable us to improve communications within and between departments.
- The Assessment is easy to administer and easy to complete.
- It gives ideas for questions to ask candidates during an interview.
- I also like the descriptions of the individual Profiles.
- I love the new Management Tools that have been added.
- The People Management Survey was wonderful.
- Some of the Reference Profiles seem very similar. Maybe consolidating could help.
Our company has used the Predictive Index primarily as part of the selection process for over 20 years. However, when I joined I realized it was an underutilized tool. We didn't share it employees once they came on board and managers really weren't using it either to work with their employees. I have since expanded the use with teams to help team members learn more about one another and their styles and to improve team effectiveness.
- Describes key factors in work behaviors
- Helps people understand others' drives and needs behind their behaviors
- The new site has amazing tools for understanding relationships and team dynamics
- My only complaint is I wish the Factor letters correlated with what they measure like other tools. For non-regular users trying to remember what A, B, C or D stand for can be an issue with discussing the tool.

Predictive Index is part of our culture. No candidate will be hired unless we see what we're looking for in their report? It is invaluable in both hiring, and then managing our workforce effectively. Every employee is approached with their PI in mind.
- Clues you in to what you should expect from an employee
- Gives you a road map for how to work with a person.
- Let's you see who you're talking to, not who they're trying to project
- The time it takes to really learn how to read the report is extensive
- There is no casual use of the PI. You need to commit to it.

The PI has been incredibly useful for our organization. It has allowed us to not only evaluate candidates but also to increase the effectiveness of managers within our organization. There are incredibly useful tools and there is a misconception that it's only used for hiring. The tools can be used for everything from hiring, managing, evaluating, succession planning, performance reviews, and so on.
- User-friendly product with amazing features that they are constantly updating and improving
- Amazing tool to help manage our teams, coach our managers, maximize performance and managerial effectiveness, and hire new employees
- I don't really have any complaints about PI, but if I had to pick something, I'd say add more resources on the behavioral charts for people who haven't been through training to interpret it

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)

The PI is used in the interview process at Benco - this is where our candidates/associates first see the assessment. It is then discussed in great detail in our New Hire Orientation program, where we give our new associates a good understanding of the assessment, why we use it and why it is important to our organization. The PI is something that we have ingrained in our culture.
- I really love the PI placards - we give them to new associates during their new hire orientation. Our associates display them on their desks/in their cubicles.
- I do not have anything to add here

At Gateway Plastics, Inc. we use PI in the Human Resources department as part of the hiring process. It shows us what type of behaviors the candidate innately has, so we can predict how they may or may not like the position/environment the candidate will work in.
- Showing what drives an individual
- Explaining the needs and behaviors of an individual
- Helping with the selection of candidates and development of current employees
- The transition from the old analytical patterns to the new patterns is a bit confusing

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.

PI Transformed My Time Management Evaluating Candidates
PI Behavioral Assessments started out as a recruiting tool. We chose PI because it offers a refreshing transparency providing insights otherwise not seen. This supports our long-term investment strategy of bringing in new employees that match the roles we have available. How? We are able to evaluate and more precisely match employee capabilities on the front-end by creating intelligent job descriptions that are reflected through our Job Assessment parameters. Our underlying goal is to create and support the most important ingredient in our company. Our employees! They are our most valuable asset. By understanding the dynamics within each individual and bringing out those strengths, they truly look forward to their contributions in their professional role each day. In other words, they look forward to coming to work!
We started this with our Sales department, however; it has migrated to include the entire company. We have learned, and are still learning, how different each role is and therefore, what is required from individuals within given specialty areas. Our long-term goal is to also strengthen our existing management staff and their teams with the insights PI provides. We are very excited to be using PI.
- Do you know what drives each individual in your company? The PI Behavioral Assessment provides this insight with details that are profoundly accurate and open up a very candid and genuine conversation for both the employer and the employee/candidate.
- Do you know where their strengths are? The PI Behavioral Assessment will show you; for those employees/candidates that find it hard to express themselves, this is a true benefit.
- Do you know whether they are truly fulfilled in their role? The PI Behavioral Assessment facilitates open and candid communications; as you enter into a conversation about what the employee/candidate "truly" wants to be doing, positive decisions can be made that generate improvements the entire company experiences.
- In Beta -> Hire -> New Candidates - > I would like to see the ability to create 1 or 2 additional "Type" folders that can be customized for my company. By being able to do this, I can more efficiently manage my potential candidates, rather that every time I go to review a position, having to make these individual selections each time. I would like the favorite icon and the pass icon to remain; however find it extraneous to have to sort through these candidates each time.

PI is a great tool for employee development
I use PI Behavioral Assesment to help us coach employees and leaders. We are working on creating models for roles so that we can use it to help with employment decisions. Right now the big push is for leadership development. I use PI to help my leaders increase their emotional intelligence by understanding how they will behave in different situations.
- Behavior profile - speaks to how they will tend to act.
- Factor combinations describe how strongly they will be in critical areas like decision making, risk taking and people versus task orientation.
- Create pros to capture ideal candidates based on best-performing people.
- None

The PI is great!
PI is being used because we consult using PI with other organizations, and we are a licensee that gives access to other companies to PI. In addition, of course, we use PI within our own firm for hiring and coaching.
- Giving managers an important tool that tells them how they can best interact with a given employee of theirs, manage them, and take care of their needs
- Helps employees across the workplace communicate well with one another
- Ensures that you are hiring people who are the right fit for a role and will thrive in that role because it matches the things that they enjoy doing and they are well-suited to do
- Provides coaching opportunities if an employee is not doing well in a role (using the self-concept graph)
- Making the website a bit more user-friendly, less bugs, a better experience overall

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.

PI Behavior Assessment is used in all our departments. While we do use it in development and conflict resolution, its primary role is in the hiring process. We had a high turnover rate a few years back and started to look into some of the reasons and thought that “bad” hires was one of the biggest reasons.
- PI provides data to help understand each candidate.
- Can tailor results for each new position.
- Quick and simple testing.
- None at this time.
