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.

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.
