PI Cognitive Assessment Sample Questions

Welcome to the only official sample questions for the PI Cognitive Assessment™. These questions—created by The Predictive Index^®—are designed to familiarize you with the PI Cognitive Assessment process and are for instructional purposes only.

Your answers on these sample questions do not affect your official PI Cognitive Assessment results.

By completing these brief sample questions, you will be able to:

Familiarize yourself with questions similar in format to those on the official PI Cognitive Assessment.
Test your abilities in a stress-free environment.
Check your answers upon completing the sample questions.

What you need to know about these sample questions:

There are 20 sample questions.
You have a time limit of 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
Only you are able to see your results—they have no impact on your official PI Cognitive Assessment score.

How are the sample questions different from the official PI Cognitive Assessment?

The official PI Cognitive Assessment consists of 50 questions with a 12-minute time limit. The PI Cognitive Assessment Sample Questions consist of 20 questions and have a comparable time limit of 4 minutes and 48 seconds.

Please note, it may be quite challenging to respond to all 20 questions before the time runs out. That is okay—most respondents do not answer all 50 questions on the official PI Cognitive Assessment either.

Once again, The Predictive Index provided these sample questions for informational purposes only. There is no direct score conversion between performance on these questions and the PI Cognitive Assessment score.

Upon completion, you can check your answers in a report.

PLEASE NOTE: Complete these sample questions in one sitting, preferably in a setting that is free from interruption. Try to answer as many questions correctly as you can within the time limit. When you are done, check your answers to see how many you answered correctly.
