# The Predictive Index The Predictive Index (PI) is a behavioral intelligence platform, built on validated science since 1955, that gives organizations clarity and confidence in their people — from hiring and team design to leadership and management. > The Predictive Index (PI) has been advancing behavioral science since 1955, headquartered in Westwood, Massachusetts and trusted by more than 10,000 organizations across 90+ countries. PI translates what drives people at work into behavioral intelligence organizations can act on — from the first hire to the feedback conversation, the team that's stalled, and the leadership moment that changes everything. PI's EFPA-certified methodology is recognized globally for predicting workplace performance, backed by one of the largest validated behavioral datasets in the world spanning millions of assessments. As AI reshapes how organizations make people decisions, that scientific foundation only grows more valuable. Organizations can experience PI's behavioral intelligence firsthand with a free version of the PI Behavioral Assessment at try.predictiveindex.com. ## Platform - [Talent Optimization Platform](https://www.predictiveindex.com/software/): How PI's behavioral intelligence platform connects hiring, retention, and leadership development into one system — so people decisions aren't made in the dark -
