The Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment™
What Is the Behavioural Assessment™ by The Predective Index® ?
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ is a science-backed tool that helps you understand how someone is likely to behave at work.
It takes six minutes to complete and measures four key workplace drives. These include dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality. Together, they reveal how a person communicates, makes decisions, solves problems, and responds to pressure.
The assessment is not a personality quiz. It is built for business and designed to improve hiring, onboarding, management, and team performance.
You can use it to compare candidates against a role, understand how people work best, and make data-driven decisions you can stand by.
What the PI Behavioural Assessment™ Measures
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ measures four key drives that shape how someone behaves at work. Each drive influences how a person communicates, makes decisions, responds to pressure, and interacts with others.
Every person has a unique combination of these drives.
The assessment turns that information into a behavioural pattern you can use to understand how someone works best and where they may face challenges.
The drive to influence people and take control of situations
The drive for social interaction and connection
The drive for consistency, stability, and pace
The drive to follow rules, structure, and detail

Why Measuring Behaviour Matters
You’re not just hiring for skills. You’re hiring for how someone will show up, work with others, and handle the demands of the role.
When you understand behaviour, you reduce the risk of mis-hires, improve team dynamics, and give managers better tools to support their people.
