Reviews
(1-25 of 26)- 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 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.
- Create job targets using behaviors which would enable someone to be successful.
- Helps recruit the right fit by asking the right questions.
- Helps increase communication across an organization within teams and across departments.
- Helps provide managers with support on how to best communicate and help develop their direct reports.
- The online portal and tools have improved over time, still room for easier navigation.
Ex: For a particular role, we need someone comfortable with risk and understanding the big picture. The system will suggest behavioral based questions we could use to determine whether or not this candidate can meet those expectations of the job.
[Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment] should never be used as the deciding factor in hiring. It is simply a data point and tool to help learn
Great Insights!
- 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.
Hire the correct people
- 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.
PI Review
- Helps managers better meet the needs of their employees
- Assists in identifying good matches to open positions
- Provides guides to employees on personal growth
- Easier ways to download the information
- More ways to group employees company wide
PI Transformed My Time Management Evaluating Candidates
- 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.
Learn it and love it
- PI provides data to help understand each candidate.
- Can tailor results for each new position.
- Quick and simple testing.
- None at this time.
Simple, effective and smart!
- Accurate depiction of the way a person is likely to behave in the workplace.
- Easy to use and intuitive for the candidates to complete.
- Better understanding of what type of candidate we are looking for in a particular role.
- The member website is probably in need of overhaul - searching for candidates etc., uses a dated screen and search tool. I think this is being addressed and doesn't stop us getting solid results.
- Some of the materials appear to be a bit dated - although new materials seem to be coming online all the time.
- Video tutorials are helpful but don't always appear that polished.
PI: An eye-opening tool!
- The PI results help us become more self aware. This helps us adjust our paradigms and allows us to communicate better with our peers and those around us.
- The PI results allow us to be transparent with one another about who we are, how we communicate, and what gives us energy. This allows us work together more effectively within our teams and improve communication company wide.
- The PI results allow us to help with development opportunities which assist with employee engagement. The results assist us with helping the employee be in a position which, given their natural motivations, allows them to succeed in their role and helps alignment within the company.
- PI could me more user friendly when it comes to the website. It's not hard to use but it's a bit slow to operate at times...as though there's too much data weighing it down.
- I would like for the PI software to be able to print multiple Placards at the same time so you don't have to take screen shots and paste them into a Word document.
Recruiting and Succession Friendly
- PI has great validity which makes using it in areas like hiring and promotion make it very important and a well-respected tool that most people have difficulty arguing with.
- The ease of use on PI product is amazing. Offering both paper and online assessment tools allows for test-takers of all types to have the opportunity to perform this assessment without undue advantage or bias.
- PI is a great tool for uncovering not only what a person's strengths are in the workplace, but also where they will struggle and how best to support them in their roles. Its an all-around great tool for professional development in your staff.
- Because of the type of assessment this is, PI does require specific training in order to be qualified to read the results. This can be expensive and cumbersome for some persons/companies.
PI until I die!
- Which traits will show more dominantly.
- The breakdown in the behavioral report is helpful to people who are not certified practitioners.
- Helps us predict an employee's potential and desires to advance.
- Easier integration of PROS
- Easier to navigate home screen
- A way to clear the home screen of test takers that have already completed the assessment
Less appropriate: It's never not appropriate! Any time there is a hiring decision that needs to be made, the PI should be used.
A happy PI user for 35 years -
- 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.
Software for anyone who recruits!
- 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.
PI has Evolutionized our business
- Identifying and top-grading candidates for positions across the business
- Team building, to leverage individuals' greatest strengths
- Personal development planning for team members
We have been using PI for over seven years, and it saves us time, reduces ineffective hiring, and maximizes the effectiveness of the organization.
- We use PI to identify expected behaviors at the time of candidate recruiting. This makes our interview process much more efficient.
- The new Cognitive features have not yet been used (we've instead been using Wonderlic tests), however they will be an area of future focus.
- 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.
Fantastic and Helpful!
- Helps with the recruiting process!
- It's super accurate!
- It helps build rapport between teams.
- Easier to read reports for people who haven't done the training.
- More Interview/coaching guides.
- integrations with more things.

PIs Rock!
We also use PI as a tool to assist in managing current employees by understanding their preferences and what type of management style will set them up for success and in turn company success. It is also very informative for employees as they sometimes have an aha moment when we review their profile. They better understand why certain jobs or tasks were a struggle and others were easier.
Another area that we have utilized PI is in succession planning. Creating a profile for the position and identifying potential successors, we can compare profiles and, like in recruitment, ask the right questions to ensure this is something that would be of interest/fit.
- Great Support and Training
- Easy to administer
- People are always surprised at how accurate it is
- The custom reports are easy to generate
- It is a bit costly.
- It takes a bit of practice/training to fully interpret the profile
- There are a lot of applications and tools to sift through...can be time consuming
Essential for smart businesses
- Gets to the point
- Encourages consensus between managers
- Saves time
- Training required
The PI Behavioral Assessment reduced our new hire turn over rate!
- 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.
