Predictive Index Employee Assessment

The Predictive Index® process is a combination of employee assessment, education and consulting. At the core of that process is the Predictive Index survey, a workplace-related behavioral assessment tool which helps managers identify the drives and motivations of their people, and the Job Model which helps you identify the behaviors and drives necessary for superior performance on a specific job. Combined, they provide managers with invaluable insights for employee assessment, coaching, leadership development, succession planning, team performance and more. The end result – improved performance and productivity for your entire organization.

• It all starts with a simple checklist

  At first glance, it appears to be a simple adjective checklist. For all its apparent simplicity, however, the Predictive Index (PI) is a sophisticated instrument that's been scientifically validated to be a reliable predictor of work-related behavior. As anyone who has completed PI will tell you, the results are uncannily accurate.

  The Predictive Index Checklist is available in sixty languages, plus Braille.

• Job Model - How do you know who’s right for the job?

  Before you match a person to a job, you have to know what the job requires. That's where the Job Model (Performance Requirement Options) worksheet comes in. The Job Model gives you a road map for the various positions in your organization, providing insight into the behaviors and drives necessary for superior performance.

  The Job Model and the Predictive Index work together. The Job Model helps you understand the specific behaviors that lead to most effective performance in a particular job, given the realities of your organization's methods, markets, processes and management. It describes the drives and behaviors that are necessary for success, and also gives you insight into similarities and differences that might exist in various individuals' approaches to the same job.

  You can compare an individual's PI results with the needs of the job, highlighting both fits and gaps to make better-informed selection, coaching, performance management and leadership decisions.

  The Job Model is available in 15 languages.

• Validity. Proven Results.

  Since 1955, thousands of businesses have depended on the Predictive Index for a variety of uses, including employee selection. PI Worldwide remains dedicated to conducting research that ensures that the PI is work-related, free of bias, valid and reliable.

  Clients around the world have confidence in the Predictive Index not only because of its repeatable accuracy, but also for its scientific and research-based foundation:

  • The Predictive Index was developed and validated in compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidelines, as well as the professional standards established by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Society of Industrial & Organizational Psychology (SIOP)
  • We have amassed an extensive library of over 400 criterion-related job validity studies covering multiple jobs, industries and countries which document the instrument's validity and usefulness in the business world.
  • EEOC studies indicate that PI cannot distinguish if a person has a disability or not. Therefore, PI is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
