Our psychometric products
ProfileXT
The PXT assessment measures how well an individual fits specific jobs in your organisation. The “job matching” feature of the PXT is unique. It enables you to evaluate an individual relative to the qualities required to successfully perform in a specific job. The PXT can be used throughout the employee life cycle for selection, on-boarding, managing, training and development and strategic workforce planning.
PXT Select
Having the right people in the right jobs is truly powerful. PXT Select™ not only helps you find the right people, but also helps you shape the overall employee experience. PXT Select’s suite of reports helps you select, onboard, coach, and develop employees to reach their full potential.
Profiles Performance Indicator
The Profiles Performance Indicator™ (PPI) is a DISC-type assessment that indicates how a person will perform in the following areas of their role. Productivity, Quality of Work, Initiative, Teamwork, Problem Solving and Adapting to Change. This assessment also reveals aspects of an individual’s personality that could impact their fit with their manager, coworkers, and team as well as their job performance. It is primarily used for motivating and coaching employees and resolving post-hire conflict and performance issues.
Profiles Sales Assessment
The Profiles Sales Assessment™ (PSA) measures how well a person matches specific sales roles in your organisation. It is used primarily for selecting, onboarding, and managing sales people and account managers. The “job modeling” feature of the PSA is unique. It can be customised by company, sales position, department, manager, geography, or any combination of these factors.
Checkpoint 360°
The CheckPoint Management System is a 360-degree assessment. It is used primarily to evaluate the effectiveness of your managers and leaders, and assists in identifying and prioritising individualised development opportunities.

It is used primarily for selecting, onboarding, and managing customer service employees. We have a general industry version of this assessment as well as vertical specialties in hospitality, healthcare, financial services, and retail.
Step One Survey
The SOSII is a brief pre-hire assessment that measures an individual’s basic work-related values. It is used primarily as a screening tool early in the candidate selection process. This assessment provides valid insight into an applicant’s work ethic, reliability, integrity, propensity for substance abuse, and attitudes toward theft — including property, data, and time.
Profiles Managerial Fit
Profiles Managerial Fit™ (PMF) measures critical aspects of compatibility between a manager and their employees. This report offers an in-depth look at one’s approach to learning and six critical dimensions of compatibility with their manager: self-assurance, conformity, optimism, decisiveness, self-reliance, and objectivity.
Testimonial
We partner with PIA to provide our organisation with the PPI DISC profiling assessment
tool. We find PPI to be a valuable recruitment and selection tool and its useful for internal
teams to use to build rapport and a common understanding of each team member's
preferences and behavioral styles. The team at PIA are highly responsive and provide
excellent service. I have no hesitation in recommending PPI as a provider for Team and
individual profiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do psychometric assessments work?
Psychometric testing is designed so that all completing the assessment have the same experience. The same questions will be asked and the same time limit will be given for them to complete the questionnaire. This ensures the unbiased nature and validity of the assessment.
How can psychometric testing help the candidate selection process?
Using psychometric testing for your organisation provides measurable, objective data about your candidates that would not be attained through traditional interviewing methods. These assessments add a scientific approach to the recruitment process, evaluating candidates on their attributes, personality traits, and cognitive abilities.
Psychometric tests can also shed light on a candidate’s aptitude for certain roles, such as sales, customer service, and leadership roles. This supports more effective hiring by increasing the chances of choosing a candidate that can seamlessly and successfully integrate into your organisation.
By using psychometric testing for your organisation, you’ll strengthen your recruitment process, and increase your chances of a successful hire.
Why use psychometric testing?

Post-hire, our psychometric testing can identify opportunities for improvement, allowing organisations to create successful workforce development plans to benefit performance.
Certain psychometric assessments can also assess the compatibility between managers and their employees so organisations can gain insights on team dynamics.
