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.

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.

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.,10,It helps us early on get an idea of how a candidate will fit at our organization and what strengths they might bring to their team.,,Workday Human Capital Management, JIRA Software, Atlassian Confluence,Employee SurveysDanielle DominickNew to PI and I LOVE it!2018-09-07T18:51:10.988ZCurrently 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.,8,With new hiring, it should help make better hiring decisions which will reduce turnover and save costs.
Once it is fully implemented, it should help with Communication. It should save money, again, on turnover costs. If people are communicating better, there should be as many misunderstandings which could cause workplace drama and hurt feelings which could (and has) cost people to leave their jobs.,,Kronos Workforce Ready,Employee SurveysWendy KnoxPredictive Index - a great tool to help maximize results through your people2018-09-07T18:36:23.144ZOur 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.,10,When used correctly, our managers make better hiring decisions and put people in the right roles. This reduces turnover and increases employee engagement.
When used for team dynamics, we have seen reduced conflict and more effective teamwork.,Tracey Draper, SPHRHire the correct people2018-09-06T18:35:28.433ZPredictive 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.,10,Putting the right people in the right position is great for employee satisfaction and retention
Our customers respond favorably to having people that they're comfortable with,,Hireology, Dealer.com,Employee SurveysRobert LyonsPI Behavioral Assessment Software Review2018-05-08T20:00:16.098ZThe 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.,10,The PI has been very helpful when analyzing employees. You cannot go wrong when you are able to see a candidate or employees work style.
The ROI is very positive. A lot of companies have a specific culture that they are trying to create or adhere to. This software helps you see if an employee would be a good fit for your company or not.,Employee SurveysZachary ShannonPredictive Index-Great for recruiting and development2018-07-06T20:53:59.070ZOur organization uses the Predictive Index Assessment as a communication tool as well as a recruiting tool.

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,9,At my company, the PI has helped teams work together more effectively and has helped managers to really understand with their new associates.Carrie Krott, SHRM-CPPI is Fantastic!2018-06-05T15:07:43.871ZAt Gateway Plastics, Inc. we use PI in the Human Resources department as part of the hiring process.

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,10,It has had a significant return on investment as it has allowed us to understand each of our employees and how they work (their behaviors, where they can improve, etc.).Verified UserPI Review2018-08-28T15:17:30.058ZPI is being used company wide to help co-workers understand each other better.,Helps managers better meet the needs of their employees

More ways to group employees company wide,8,Reduced turnover,UltiPro, Paycom, Relias Learning Management SystemVerified UserPI Transformed My Time Management Evaluating Candidates2018-03-09T17:26:16.303ZPI 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.,10,Positive: Better usage of my time with evaluating potential candidates, allowing me to actively focus on the best matches.
Positive: Providing our Team with insights to their team members strengthening improved communications.,Concur Expense, Salesforce Analytics Cloud,Employee SurveysLeslie BradfordPI is a great tool for employee development2018-02-21T22:53:30.174ZI use PI Behavioral Assesment to help us coach employees and leaders.

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.

Can be helpful to create most effective work layouts,Disc,Prism,Employee SurveysMike HobbyPI Behavioral Assessment - Recommend!2017-10-23T18:39:35.332ZWe have implemented the PI Behavioral Assessment among all of our supervisory staff and our administrative support staff. We also include the senior leader of our Germany and France operations. We are hoping to understand each other and how to communicate better with each other. Eventually, we will include the entire organization and use it for team communication and recruitment.,The assessments are very accurate. One thing everyone who has taken the assessment has said is "this is me" once they read their reports.
Being an international organization, allowing the employees to take the assessment in their "native" language helps with the accuracy of the assessment. A lot of meaning gets lost in translation when you are only given the assessment in English and you are not a English-speaking employee.
The tools available to help employees and hiring the right candidates are very user friendly and easy to implement.,I really have nothing at this point that I feel needs to be improved.,9,People have learned how we are all different and what we need from each other or our supervisors is different.,DISC,UltiPro, Kronos Workforce Central,Employee Surveys,30,1,Better Communication
Better Candidate selection
Better Team interactions,We are showing members of the same team how they match up or not. This is helping the team dynamics improve and gives the supervisor ideas for engagement opportunities.,We would like to use the cognitive tool to help understand the learning ability of candidates.
We will be having managers and selected employees determining the job profile for each position to be able to better gauge candidates for the roles.,9Paula ThornSimple, effective and smart!2017-12-08T19:21:44.785ZWe use the Predictive Index and Predictive Learning indicator at Qlik in the hiring process and to help us be better managers of sales teams. For hiring it enables us to have an extra dimension to consider when going through the hiring process. We have a good idea of the types of profiles that are likely to be successful in particular roles, so we are able to make a much more informed decision. With existing team members we are able to coach and communicate more effectively through the understanding we get through PI!,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.,10,Positive impact on the knowledge the managers have in their team
PI has saved us from some hiring mistakes that would have been bad for the candidate and us as a company,Myers Briggs and Thomas International,Qlik Sense, Qlik Sense Cloud, QlikViewStephen DossettPI: An eye-opening tool!2017-11-09T22:49:10.002ZOur entire organization is using PI in many ways. We use it to improve communication among teams by providing managers with their teams' PI results and coaching tips, it helps bring self awareness to who we are and what motivates us to better align our strengths to our roles, and we use it in the hiring process to help us pair a job position with what natural needs/motivations a candidate may possess.,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.,10,A positive impact PI has had on our overall business objectives is witness it's effect with employee engagement. We've seen how communication styles have changed among teams; therefore, creating a more engaging environment where employees want to be every day!
The only negative impact we've had using PI simply came with poor timing. We just launched PI assessments to the entire organization and within the following weeks it was announced that our company was merging with another organization. Some individuals assumed that we were using this PI Assessment to determine if they were able to keep a position with the new company and were either reluctant to take the assessment or didn't complete it with an honest response. When we finally got word out about the great things PI does, and how it has nothing to do with their job position throughout the merger, we were able to ease some tension.,,Employee SurveysMolly MasonPI Behavioral Assessment throughout our organization2017-10-30T20:13:55.512ZWe use PI Behavioral Assessment throughout our entire organization. This tool has helped us tremendously. We use PI behavioral assessment within our hiring and recruiting team, with our learning and development team, and our coordinator to ensure that the whole company is using PI. We use this tool to hire and keep the right people. For example we use the assessment to ensure that the potential candidate can thrive in this role. Once we’ve hired, we give read backs of their results during their onboarding process. Next, we sit with the new employee and their manager and use the PI scorecards to teach how each person likes to be worked with. We also do readbacks where we go over the results of a team as a team building exercise so that they learn to work with each others similarities and differences. We have used the behavioral assessment and so many other tools through PI. It has been incredibly worth every penny.,Helps in hiring strategies

Giving a manager access to look at their team’s PI results,10,Employee SurveysMadison SanchezRecruiting and Succession Friendly2017-10-30T19:14:13.332ZI use PI for various facets throughout our company. We use it externally when bringing in a candidate for hiring consideration. We actually use PI as a screening tool for all of our positions. We also use PI to assist in managing current employees as well as for succession and career planning.,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.,9,It has helped us to increase the number of 'good' hires and therefore stabilize workforce in certain departments/locations.
It has lengthened the amount of time it takes to recruit candidates for a position since they must now have the appropriate profile in order to progress thru our hiring process.,RecruiterboxKaren FloresPI until I die!2017-10-20T16:14:57.343ZThe PI Behavioral Assessment is an integral part of our organization. Not only do we have every potential new employee take the assessment, we've also had all current employees complete it. The PI highlights each individual's strongest traits and characteristics, and helps us in HR to determine where they'd be happiest and most effective within the company! Love it!,Which traits will show more dominantly.
The breakdown in the behavioral report is helpful to people who are not certified practitioners.

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.,10,As our engagement increases our turnover drops.
If we let it slide and don't use it as much our turnover increases.,meyers briggs,Employee SurveysJordan KlintGreat for Recruiting and Hiring2017-11-13T21:47:14.777ZI use PI to narrow down the candidate selection; help find the most ideal profile of a typical job, help write new job descriptions and our HRBPs use it for coaching new/young managers with their employees. I has many uses just on the behavior side and we are currently looking into the cognitive side for next year.,Matching Candidate to Job
Matching Candidate to Hiring Manager,Less clicks to run things, maybe an easier search function,9,It has helped avoid bad hiresBrad BrittIncredibly Impactful Tool2018-01-17T18:44:53.485ZWe 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.,10,Better hiring outcomes when individuals are aligned to what the role requires. We acquired an entity that was not using PI and their turnover was north of 50%. Our historical overall company turnover using this tool has been in the single digits. While PI is not the only factor that contributes to this, it certainly is a key factor.
Better understanding of how to approach others in the organization and best meet their preferences has resulted in better working relationships, better communication and increased EQ.,,Halogen TalentSpace, ADP Workforce Now, JobviteVerified UserThe PI is great!2018-01-24T22:18:39.528ZPI 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,10,Obviously selling it to other companies, we've seen great things in terms of how happy our clients are
In our own company, we have very loyal employees and low turnover, and the PI is always being used for coaching opportunities and assigning tasks,Employee SurveysVerified UserA happy PI user for 35 years -2017-09-13T16:22:26.695ZWe 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.,9,We have increased our ability to hire employees with a better ability to perform the jobs for which they are hired.
It has helped us develop a better methodology to discuss talent and succession planning.
At times we get into negatively loaded discussions, when managers see a different pattern than they wanted. It takes effort to align expectations.,,SalesPredict,Employee SurveysKirsten Marie Jensen
