What does the predictive index measure?

The PI Behavioral Assessment measures four motivating needs, or “drives,” that founder Arnold Daniels believed had the biggest effect on workplace behaviors: dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality. His position was this: If you know where a person falls on a spectrum of these four factors, you possess a great deal of knowledge about what it would be like to work with him or her. More information on this can be found on our site at https://www.predictiveindex.com/blog/the-four-key-factors-that-determine-workplace-behavior/ Additionally, the PI Cognitive Assessment consists of 50 multiple-choice questions from three cognitive ability categories (verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning) and nine subcategories. Essentially, it assesses the rate at which a person can learn—rapid knowledge acquisition. More than personality tests, they measure verbal reasoning, cognitive skills, and critical thinking. Unlike a standard aptitude test, a cognitive assessment combined with behavioral data can provide true indicators of a candidate’s job performance.
