PI Cognitive Assessment practice

The Predictive Index Cognitive Assessment gives you 50 questions in 12 minutes — roughly 14 seconds each, no calculator. Its numerical questions are number series, short word problems and value comparisons, designed so that speed of reasoning, not depth of maths, separates candidates.

This simulator drills 20 numerical questions on the real hard countdown. Most people's scores jump after just a few runs — not because their maths improves, but because they stop losing seconds to hesitation.

Common questions

How many questions is the PI Cognitive Assessment?

50 questions in 12 minutes, mixing numerical, verbal and abstract reasoning — roughly 14 seconds per question, no calculator.

Can you use a calculator on the PI test?

No. The numerical questions — series, comparisons, short word problems — are designed to be solved mentally at speed.

What is a good PI Cognitive score?

Scores are scaled with the average around the middle of the range, and target scores vary by role. Speed of reasoning, not depth of maths, is what separates candidates.
