Predictive Index

Predictive Index (PI) is a widely adopted skill and behavior assessment test used by many organizations to aid in the understanding of how employees, or candidates, will likely deal with employment situations and managerial styles. The software and technology of the PI system is developed and owned by PI Worldwide, which has 45 licensees worldwide and 400 consultants distributing the assessment. While some required to participate in the assessment may worry about selecting the "correct" answers, there are actually no correct nor incorrect answers. Rather the goal of the predictive index is to match the correct people to the correct situations to avoid future conflict. Some companies, such as Bullhorn Reach, have fully integrated the PI system into their hiring strategy to assist in talent acquisition, despite earlier reservations on the effectiveness of behavioral assessments.
