Weekly PI Pro Tip

Should organizations be concerned with “faking” when using the PI Behavioral Assessment?  The increased use of personality assessments in the workplace has brought renewed concerns about applicant response distortion (e.g., “faking”).

Based on over 60 years of experience and a body of empirical research performed by organizational researchers, The Predictive Index does not believe faking is an issue when using well-designed personality assessments such as the PI Behavioral
