Q & A

What is the Pi Behavioral Assessment and how is it measured?

The Pi Behavioral Assessment measures individuals on five core factors: Dominance (Factor A), Extroversion (Factor B), Patience (Factor C), Formality (Factor D), and recently, Judgment (Factor E). These factors assess behaviors like independence, social interaction, calmness under pressure, adherence to rules, and decision-making styles.

What does the Dominance factor (Factor A) measure in the Pi Behavioral Assessment?

Factor A, Dominance, measures the drive to exert influence on people and situations. High Dominance individuals value independence, control, and are innovative, while low Dominance individuals tend to accept authority and follow established processes.

How does the Extroversion factor (Factor B) affect an individual’s social behavior?

Factor B, Extroversion, gauges the drive for social interaction. High Extroversion individuals enjoy interacting with others and are energized by social activities, while low Extroversion individuals tend to be more quiet, serious, and less driven by social interaction.

What does the Patience factor (Factor C) reveal about an individual?

Factor C, Patience, reflects the intensity of an individual's tension and pace. High Patience individuals are calm, steady, and prefer routine tasks, while low Patience individuals tend to be action-oriented, seeking change and less content with routine.

How is the Formality factor (Factor D) assessed in the Pi Behavioral Assessment?

Factor D, Formality, measures the drive to conform to structure and rules. High Formality individuals are careful, diligent, and cautious about making mistakes, while low Formality individuals are more informal, spontaneous, and focused on results rather than processes.

What role does Judgment (Factor E) play in decision-making according to the Pi Behavioral Assessment?

Factor E, Judgment, assesses how objective or subjective a person is when making decisions. High Judgment individuals rely on facts, data, and analysis, while low Judgment individuals make decisions based more on intuition or gut feeling.

How are the results of the Pi Behavioral Assessment presented graphically?

The results are presented on a graph with a midpoint representing the average behavior of individuals. Results that fall on the left side of the midpoint indicate lower behavior scores, while those on the right side indicate higher scores. The distance from the midpoint indicates the strength of the behavior.

What is the significance of the 'M' score in the Pi Behavioral Assessment results?

The 'M' score represents the number of adjectives a person selects to describe themselves. A very low or very high 'M' score may indicate instability in the results, and Pi Behavioral Assessment recommends retaking the test if the 'M' score is below 6 or above 80.

How are the 17 profiles in the Pi Behavioral Assessment determined?

The 17 profiles are determined based on the individual's scores in the five core factors. Each profile represents a unique combination of behaviors, such as being a 'Venturer', 'Adapter', or 'Controller'. These profiles provide insights into an individual's strengths, work style, and needs.

What is the significance of understanding your Pi Behavioral Assessment profile?

Understanding your Pi Behavioral Assessment profile helps identify your strengths, management style, communication style, and the type of work environment you thrive in. It also provides guidance on how to interact with others and how to manage projects or people effectively.
