Personal Characteristics Inventory® (PCI)

Link “Big 5” personality traits to job performance.

Description

The Personal Characteristics Inventory (PCI) measures the personality traits deemed desirable by most employers. Developed by personality experts Murray Barrick, Ph.D. and Michael Mount, Ph.D., the PCI predicts successful job performance using five primary dimensions of personality, or personality traits, known as the “Big Five.”

A highly effective pre-employment screening tool, the PCI focuses on person-job compatibility by identifying a job applicant’s standing on the following:

The core personality traits measured by the PCI are critical factors to long-term employee and organizational success.
