Make every hire count with the PI Behavioural Assessment™
See how people work, lead, and deliver before you interview. The PI Behavioural Assessment™ gives leaders measurable insight into what drives performance and how to hire for long-term success.
When behaviour and role demands don’t align
Most hiring decisions still focus on what people have done, not how they work. Around 75% of decisions are based on education and experience, yet 95% of people who leave do so because of work behaviour.
When behaviour doesn’t match the demands of the role, performance suffers. Teams lose momentum, leaders spend more time managing conflict, and results fall short of expectations.
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ helps leaders stop this before it happens. It measures how people think, communicate, and respond under pressure so hiring decisions are based on evidence that predicts performance, not assumptions made in an interview.
What is The Behavioral Assessment™ by The Predective Index®?
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ measures what drives people at work. In just six minutes, it reveals the natural patterns behind how someone leads, communicates, and responds to pressure.
It analyses four key behavioural drives (dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality) to show how each person approaches their work and what environments bring out their best performance.
It’s a validated business tool used by leaders to predict behaviour and make decisions that protect performance. The results help define how a person will work within a role, fit within a team, and deliver on the goals that matter most.
The importance of The Behavioral Assessment™
Behaviour determines how work gets done. It shapes how people make decisions, handle pressure, and build relationships that move projects forward. Yet most hiring processes still prioritise experience over behaviour, focusing on what someone has done rather than how they do it.
When leaders understand behaviour, they can predict performance and manage risk before it affects results. The PI Behavioural Assessment™ gives leaders the insight to see how people will work within a role, how they will fit into a team, and how they will respond to the demands of the environment.
How The PI Behavioral Assessment™ works
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ takes six minutes to complete and provides leaders with measurable insight into how people approach their work. It can be sent to candidates at any stage of recruitment and integrates easily into existing hiring processes.
Participants choose adjectives that describe themselves and how others expect them to behave at work. The responses are analysed to create a behavioural pattern that shows how the person leads, communicates, and delivers results.
Leaders can then view these results against a Job Target created by the PI Job Assessment™. This comparison shows how closely each candidate aligns with the behavioural demands of the role.
The assessment has been validated through more than five hundred studies and is available in over sixty languages. With more than thirty million assessments completed worldwide, it remains one of the most trusted measures of workplace behaviour available today.
Send a secure link to the candidate or team member. They complete the assessment online in about six minutes. There is no time limit and no right or wrong answer.
The system generates a behavioural pattern based on four key workplace drives: dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality. The results are shown in a clear visual format that explains how the person naturally works and communicates.
Compare each person’s results to the Job Target. See alignment and potential gaps at a glance to understand where someone will thrive and where support may be needed. Ask better interview questions based on their behavioural fit to focus conversations on what matters most.
Use the results beyond hiring. Improve onboarding through behavioural understanding, support managers in how they lead each person, and strengthen collaboration across teams.
Why are more leaders measuring behaviour
Leaders are under growing pressure to deliver results through people, yet most hiring decisions still rely on experience and instinct. Measuring behaviour changes that. It gives leaders the evidence to understand how someone will perform, adapt, and lead before making a commitment.
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ turns this insight into action. It shows how people work best, how they fit within a team, and where they will add the most value. Every project follows our Recruitment Optimisation Framework with The Predictive Index®, aligning behavioural data with business goals so decisions drive measurable outcomes.
Leaders who measure behaviour gain a clear advantage. They move faster, make stronger decisions, and build teams that perform consistently.
What does The Behavioral Assessment™ produce
The PI Behavioural Assessment™ produces measurable insight into how people think, work, and lead. The results help leaders understand where someone will perform best, how they will collaborate, and what support they need to deliver results.
A visual summary showing how a person naturally behaves at work. It highlights their likely approach to communication, decision-making, and pace of work, helping leaders see how they will fit within the demands of the role.
Each person is grouped into one of seventeen reference profiles that describe common working styles and leadership tendencies. This gives leaders a fast, consistent way to understand behaviour across a team or department.
When used with the PI Job Assessment™, leaders can compare each person’s behavioural pattern to the benchmark for the role. This shows how closely someone matches the demands of the position and where they may need support.
Leaders receive built-in interview guides and management strategies based on each person’s behavioural profile. These tools help structure conversations, improve onboarding, and guide managers on how to lead more effectively.
