Hola Monkeys and Men,
I've got my final round interview at a boutique on Friday and I just received an e-mail that as part of their hiring process, they utilize the "Predictive Index (PI) behavioral assessment."
Has anyone ever heard of this / had to do one of these? Is there a right way or a wrong way to answer the questions? Should I try to "game" the thing or just answer the questions truthfully?
I'm getting the login information tomorrow and have to complete by Thursday so I will try to post some of the questions tomorrow night if possible and see what you guys think the best answers are.

no clue, maybe its British, they are pretty big on behavioral assessments
It looks like the company is based in Boston.
If you get a chance to see your Predictive Index® results I think you will find them fascinating. We represent Predictive Index® in Florida and Georgia and our clients always comment on the accuracy of the tool. Basically what it does is identify the type of people who will be successful and happy at the given job.

PI Survey...are they serious???? (Originally Posted: 05/05/2009)
Has anyone ever sat through a PI Survey at work?? Should I say I don't feel like taking part? Why do they want some quack telling me about myself? God, I don’t know why but I am getting pissed just thinking about it. What are they looking for?
I don't know what you're talking about but that picture is really corny. Wall Street really needs to get rid of people like you.

Are you really in Sales & Trading? Hmmmmm, I think not. You're still in school. You do not have clue about Wall Street and it's culture. That pick portrays the culture that was/is. AND it's a joke you dumb fuck.
I am now dumb dumb.

I can't stand those personal surveys either. I've been given personality surveys in trading interviews, which seems logical, but I have no clue why they would give it to someone who has experience.
Only thing I can think of is that it might be for research purposes. I don't know much about the PI Survey specifically but if they're doing research then they would probably want results from all backgrounds.
Does anyone know about this? (Originally Posted: 04/05/2013)
I have been asked to take a Predictive Index survey by a potential employer and I have no idea what to expect from this or what type of answers are best to be given an interview. Does anyone have any insight into this survey? I could not find anything when I searched WSO and google hasn't been too helpful either.
Thanks guys
A friend agrees to meet you at a restaurant at a certain time but he shows up twenty minutes late. You: A) KICK HIS ASS B) KICK HIS ASS C) KICK HIS ASS
This has to be the laziest way to evaluate fit that I've ever heard of.
I agree, seems bizarre to me. It's a decent firm too.
they're probably stupid obvious questions
I had to take one of these a while ago... There's no way to "study" for this if that's what you're asking. It's like any personality test, where they ask you a bunch of questions that overlap, trying to gauge what kind of employee you are: leader? analytical? team player? etc. The employer will receive a long paragraph outlining different aspects of your work personality: what motivates you, how you make decisions, how you respond to feedback, etc. I've never been on the employer end of this test though, so I don't know how they actually use this information.
The Predictive Index is actually one of the best ways for employers to identify who is going to fit in a particular job. It's a scientifically proven tool that meets EEOC rules for pre-hire assessments. If you fit the job, odds better are that you will like it and do well. The opposite is also true. We use it in our company.
