What is the PLI?
50 question test that identifies an individual's strengths in numerical, logical, abstract, and spatial reasoning. The individual has 12 minutes to complete the test. With nearly 5 million question and answer combinations the PLI system creates individual tests using a test selection algorithm, ensuring that no two tests will be the same.
Why use the PLI?
Cognitive Ability correlates to an individual's performance acceleration relative to their position. The PLI can help identify those individuals that have the likelihood to succeed in a given position based on the benchmark score. From individual contributor to CEO, the PLI will report a result related to the specific individual's propensity to succeed. While the benchmark score may change depending on the position, one fact remains the same; regardless of level within the organization, when compared to others in the same position, those individuals who fall within the upper tier of a given data range will have a greater chance of exceeding expectations for that position.
What the PLI measures
Since the publication of Charles Spearman's seminal writings on intelligence (1904, 1923, 1927) it has been universally accepted among intelligence scientist that there exists a unitary factor of cognitive ability (or intelligence) -the g factor. The PLI is a highly g-loaded test that measures an individual's general cognitive abilities. The test provides valuable quantified information about an individual's ability to learn, adjust, understand, solve problems, process complex information, etc. Basically, cognition outlines how a person understands and acts in the world.
