The Predictive Index’s PI Behavioral Assessment™ (PI BA) is a scientifically-backed and reliable tool used to determine an individual’s workplace drives and needs. With numerous studies validating its results and a multitude of positive testimonials from business leaders, it’s no surprise that one of the most frequently asked questions about the PI BA is, “how accurate is it?” In this case study, we will delve into the research conducted by the science team at Predictive Index to determine the accuracy of the PI BA reports.
The PI BA report is a 2-3-page document that summarizes a person’s behavioral pattern based on the results of their assessment. The report includes graphs of the individual’s self, self-concept, and synthesis, a summary of their behavioral drives, a description of their strongest behaviors, and actionable management strategies. Users also have the option to include sections on their management style, influencing style, and selling style in the report.
Between May 2018 and August 2019, the PI science team conducted a study, titled “Report Accuracy,” to assess the accuracy of the PI BA reports. Participants were directed to a survey hosted by GetFeedback, Inc. and asked to rate the accuracy of their PI BA report. Over the course of the study, an average of 59 responses were collected per week, with a total of 4,032 participants completing the survey between May 25, 2018, and September 9, 2019.
Of the 4,032 participants, 3,535 (88%) completed the survey for their own PI BA report, while 497 (12%) completed the survey for a report that was not their own. When asked to rate the accuracy of the PI BA report, the participants provided an average rating of 4.4, with 86% of respondents providing a rating of 4 or 5, both of which are considered to indicate high report accuracy.
The PI science team was able to match participants’ feedback and ratings to their Reference Profiles, which categorize a variety of behavioral patterns. The results showed that the majority of participants felt their PI BA report accurately described their behavioral drives, regardless of their Reference Profile.
The results of the study conducted by the PI science team at Predictive Index speak for themselves. The vast majority of participants felt that their PI BA report accurately described their behavioral drives, and the high ratings received indicate the validity and reliability of the PI BA. The Predictive Index strives for scientific accuracy in all its assessments, and the PI BA is no exception. With its valid results and numerous positive testimonials, it’s no wonder that the PI BA is considered one of the most accurate behavioral assessments available.

Behavioral interview questions can quickly confirm or deny your hunches about a candidate.
