"Hearing from the group with different profiles and how they approach/manage things. Benefit was counteracting some of what I had been told about my profile and potential in leadership."
"The information shared during the session was invaluable. Rob did a great job facilitating. He was an engaging speaker who created a safe environment for learning."
"The inclusion of the training team was extremely valued – this workshop will benefit me in many ways."
"This should be revisited quarterly, and new team members should be required to take the Predictive Index as well."
"Clarity! I learned why our past psychometric tools were falling short and I further learned how to leverage PI. I'm thrilled!"
"Facilitator is knowledgeable and engaging. Case study and discussion is helpful and meaningful."
"Doug is a wonderful instructor. A three-day workshop chock full of new information could be difficult to deliver and keep all participants engaged the whole time, but Doug made it easy to digest. His style and manner of speaking makes us all want to listen and learn."
"Wanted to take a moment to share how much myself, and my team enjoyed our 3 days with John. Excellent grasp of the material, patient and methodical with his approach and always so open to feedback and questions. I personally really appreciated his tips on how I can best use PI as a people leader."
"Learned how to help leaders in our organization become more self-aware and become better leaders. Overall, very well done! Rob was engaging and gave great examples."
"Helping leaders identify top talent and the right fit for their roles. Helping me manage my own team members. This was extremely interesting and I want to learn more."
"Eric was a great facilitator and had a very comprehensive knowledge of PI. He did a good job communicating a fairly complex topic and it was evident that he is passionate about the positive impact of using PI"
"I really enjoyed the content and facilitation of the course and feel more prepared to make better decisions within our organization"
"We received extremely positive feedback from our team for our session with Curtis. Thanks again for the very informative presentation"
"Understanding how PI paints a picture of the WHOLE PERSON and not just a singular component. Doug did a great job explaining also how the factors influence and/or "phone" each other based on their own needs and intensity! I loved the
explanation of "if you only observe someone's behaviours you are merely guessing at their drives and needs and conversely, if you measure someone's drives, you can predict their needs and behaviours" The other benefit was seeing how Doug interacted with each of us, so seamlessly based on what we knew/observed from our own patterns! That was so cool to witness"
"Great training! The tools are very useful, and the training really helps in maximizing how to use it. Lots of discussions and real-life examples. You come out of the training well prepared to start implementing the PI toolkit in your organization"
"PI training over 3 days offered a comprehensive view of the PI platform that significantly increased my understanding of the insights and tools that PI can offer"
"Doug was great. One of the best online facilitated courses that I have seen. We stayed on track the whole time"
I recently had the pleasure of attending a training session lead by Daphne, and it was an outstanding experience. The training was not only highly informative but also incredibly engaging. Daphne's ability to present complex information in an accessible and interesting way kept everyone involved and motivated throughout the session. The interactive elements and real-world examples made the content relatable and easy to understand. I highly recommend Daphne's training sessions to anyone looking to enhance their skills and knowledge.
""""The Predictive Index training was a game-changer for our team. It provided us with powerful insights into behavioural patterns and workplace dynamics, helping us improve communication, collaboration, and hiring decisions. The tools and strategies we learned were practical, easy to apply, and immediately impactful. I highly recommend PI training to any organization looking to enhance team performance and make data-driven talent decisions".
How does The PI Behavioural Assessment™ work?
Assessment takers get two lists of adjectives. Using the first list, we ask them to select the words that describe the way others expect them to act. Using the second list, we ask them to select the words that describe them in their own opinion.
Each adjective is associated with one of the four key factors that determine workplace behavior: dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality.
After people complete the assessment, we assign them a Reference Profile—a snapshot of the way they think and work.
What does the PI Behavioural Assessment measure?
Four key factors—or key behavioural drives—provide a simple framework for understanding your employees' and candidates' workplace behaviours. PI is your superpower: it lets you see beneath the surface so you can predict how people will behave in given situations.
- Dominance is the drive to exert influence on people or events.
- Extraversion is the drive for social interaction with other people.
- Patience is the drive to have consistency and stability.
- Formality is the drive to conform to rules and structure.
Objectivity is the degree to which an individual prefers objectivity when processing information and making decisions.

The PI Behavioral Assessment™ as delivered by Founding Partner Predictive Success helps employers find candidates who are naturally inclined to be a great fit. It also helps to design better teams and to manage employees in a way that allows them to perform at their best.

- Dominance: the drive to exert influence on people or events.

- Patience: the drive to have consistency and stability.
- Formality: the drive to conform to rules and structure.

How do you conduct a behavioral assessment?
The PI Behavioural Assessment™, as delivered by Founding Partner Predictive Success consists of two identical lists of adjectives relating to an individual's personality. From the first list, the assessment taker chooses all the adjectives that describe the way others expect them to act. Then, from the second version of the list, they choose the words that describe them according to their own opinion of themselves.
The PI Behavioral Assessment™ is an untimed, free-choice, stimulus-response assessment that collects valuable data about participants. It generally takes around 6 minutes to complete.
Each adjective relates to one of the four key factors or "drives" that shape workplace behavior: dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality.
After the assessment is completed, the assessment taker is assigned a Reference Profile, such as "Individualist" or "Strategist." This is a snapshot of the way they think and work without regard to any specific role.
