Data
The Predictive Index (PI) assessment: for individuals
Predictive Index (PI)
The Predictive Index behavioral assessment is the foundation of the Predictive Index system, with more than 2 million assessments completed every year. It is a science-based assessment that provides managers with accurate, actionable data quantifying the unique motivating needs and behavioral drives of each employee and potential employee.
Why the PI assessment?
- Quick and Easy to Use: The PI is a practical, quick, and easy-to-use solution for gathering employee insights. The assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and allows for clients to interpret results on a candidate or employee immediately.
- Based in Science: The Predictive Index is work-related, free of bias, valid and reliable. Designed to help employers comply with their obligations under the EEOC’s(Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, it can be used for both selection and career development opportunities. We’ve conducted hundreds of statistical studies demonstrating the extent to which the PI predicts workplace performance. These studies cover dozens of industries, such as healthcare, financial services, hospitality, business services, transportation, manufacturing, and many others.
- Broadly Applicable: The PI is used widely across multiple industries, jobs, levels, company sizes, growth trajectories, and business models. It is available online in 68 languages, and is used in more than 140 countries. A paper-based version of the PI is available in Braille.
- Unlimited Internal Use: The PI is based on an annual investment basis reflecting the client’s size, making it extremely flexible and scalable. This unique approach provides clients with unlimited internal use of the instrument with candidates and employees, allowing use of the PI throughout the organization.
- Self-Sufficient: The Predictive Index system is built on a model of self-sufficiency rather than per click or consultant dependency. Managers are trained on the use and application through the PI Management Workshop™, the companion Knowledge program to the PI assessment. This program is often referred to by participants as the best management development program of their careers.
The PRO survey: for jobs
The PRO is a job analytics tool that allows clients to quantify the behavioral requirements of any specific job, at any level, within their organizations. Created through input from multiple stakeholders, the client-defined output provides a PRO or “target” for the role. Armed with this information, hiring managers are better equipped to evaluate the job fit of candidates. By using the PRO before making a hire, clients can achieve better agreement on the behavioral requirements for any role, resulting in clear expectations which help the individual succeed right from the start.
Why the PRO survey?
- Works with the PI: The PRO works with the PI assessment, allowing clients to evaluate the potential similarities or dissimilarities between the behavioral requirements of the job and the behavioral needs of the candidate. This gives clients concrete data about a candidate’s fit for a particular job and where potential challenges may exist.
- Provides insight for behavioral interview questions: The PRO, used with the PI, allows clients to develop targeted behavioral interview questions to be used in the selection process. Once an employee is hired, the PRO and PI data, as well as that from the interview and other sources, can be used to inform the most effective onboarding and development plan to support the employee going forward.
The PRO – find the right people for the right roles
The PRO allows managers to identify the behavioural requirements of any position. Performance Requirement Options™ (PRO) helps you to objectively uncover specific behaviours that lead to optimal job performance in any role, at any level, across your organisation.
The PRO is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Predictive Index® (PI®) to find that critical match between the requirements of the job and a person’s ability to do the job. The PRO is an important component of the Predictive Index System and is included with your Predictive Index license at no additional charge.
Build an in-house objective talent acquisition process and get a stronger job fit every time. Anyone can complete the PRO. From our experience, we find that a variety of perspectives, such as managers, experienced incumbents, internal customers, and influencers, yield the best results. Your Managing Principal can provide assistance in this process and give you additional insight about the job patterns of similar jobs in other organizations. Our Science team has conducted hundreds of industry-specific job profiles created through validity studies.
Benefits of the PRO
- Create job profiles which highlight exactly the right behaviours for success in any role
- Reduce the time you spend on low-calibre candidates attracted by ineffective job adverts
- Collaborate with your overseas colleagues to create online job profiles
- Select more suitable people from your interview processes, knowing exactly who you need beforehand
- Place the right personalities in the right roles, and see how they naturally excel on the job
