What is the Predictive Index Test?

What is the PI Behavioral Assessment?
Unlike other personality tests, the PI Behavioral Assessment is scientifically-validated for workplace use. In 2018, it was certified by the DNV GL; this means the BA meets the strict guidelines of leading psychology experts at the EFPA.
