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).

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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

- 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.

- 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 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.

Trusted 30 Year Relationship
- Ease of use: Finding what we need is incredibly easy.
- Quick, at a glance placards, are great for a birdseye view of candidates and employees.
- Catalyst is an excellent new feature, offering us the opportunity to learn from others.
- I'd love to see interview guides more readily available with a quick click on an action button.
- I'd like creating groups to be slightly easier.
- I'd love to see tips for communication for groups created. I love the analysis provided, but a step further with tips for communication would be amazing!

LOVE this product
- It's so accurate! Rarely have I come across an individual that disagrees with the assessment.
- Conflict Resolution: It's great at removing the people from conflict and focusing on the behavior. Conflicts are resolved much faster.
- Management Coaching: It's fantastic at helping managers understand what they may be doing to motivate or demotivate their team members.
- Providing some additional performance coaching resources.
- Making it easier for anyone to read the pattern, not just an analyst.
- Provide more practical application tips to impact business outcomes.

Predictive Index Gives Us a Variety of Options
- The PI excels in helping people understand the intensity of their natural, instinctual behaviors and, when compared to others' charts, how that intensity may play out differently than they'd hoped.
- The PI is excellent helping people understand how they are currently feeling about an adaptation and if it is currently causing them frustration or potentially burn-out.
- The recruiting guides and questions are very helpful.
- The reporting can feel a bit canned. Some users have described it as an 85% match.
- Matching a pattern to a pattern name/description can be challenging occasionally.

PI...........AWESOME!!!!!
- Creating Job Assessments(Pro) - These are great sometimes you just don't know what you are looking for. You tick some boxes......now you know.
- E Factor - This is the factor around decision making.
- Self and Self Concept - This can help tremendously for recruiting and for existing staff. Are they happy in their role? etc.
- Before the upgrade it was easier to see the difference between the mid point of the self and self concept. No Biggie, I am sure I will get used to the new way.

PI has reduced our turnover, has changed the way we communicate and develop our next generation of leaders!
- Creates a common language to discuss motivational needs, behaviors and drives. Allows coaching conversations to happen in a more safe and productive manner.
- Ensure the right people are in the right positions. The PRO helps to identify the successful candidate and the candidate's PI can be evaluated using the PRO through targeted interviewing questions.
- PI helps the leadership development conversation using the personal development plan tool. The tool lays out the strengths, possible development areas and self coaching tips. This takes the guess work out of prepping for the conversation and serves as the foundation for the conversation to take off. It also lays out possible development or action plan items that can be followed up on in a timely manner.
- Printing all of the reports at once is not an available feature.
- I think the placard is too simple. Adding a few more items to each factor.
- More management tools. I love the personal development plan tool and the management/peer scorecard. I would like to see more tools.

- The product creates for thought provoking conversations that help layers of the hiring decision get on the same page.
- PI is a great tool that enables us to dig deeper into issues surrounding employee relations concerns.
- PI allows us to put together better teams that work more cohesively together.
- Reporting can be confusing when working with group analytics. Practice makes perfect.
- It's time consuming to conduct the read back but again practice makes perfect... the more you use it the easier it becomes.
- 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.
