As a business leader, hiring the right people is a critical component of achieving success. But finding the right person for the job can be a daunting task. While a candidate’s resume can provide some insight, it doesn’t provide a complete picture of their personality traits or learning speed. That’s where The Predictive Index (PI) comes in. The PI Behavioral Assessment™ and the PI Cognitive Assessment™ are valuable tools that can help you make more informed and objective hiring decisions.
The Predictive Index measures behavioral drives, including Dominance, Extraversion, Patience, and Formality, as well as cognitive ability. The PI Behavioral Assessment™ pinpoints the behavioral traits and cognitive ability that someone needs to be successful in a particular role. The PI Cognitive Assessment™ helps you understand the speed at which someone learns new information. Together, these assessments increase your ability to predict a candidate’s success in a role.

After taking the assessment, they receive their unique behavioral pattern, and assessment takers are also assigned one of 17 Reference Profiles.
The PI Cognitive Assessment™ predicts future job performance in terms of how fast someone will catch on, understand complexity, and figure things out. Cognitive ability is widely considered one of the best predictors of job performance.
