Free Predictive Index Test – Real PI Assessment Practice [2026]
Looking for a free predictive index test that actually reflects the real exam? You’re in the right place. At Heycademy, we offer a realistic PI Assessment experience with sample questions, timed simulations, and instant feedback — all available for free.
What Is the Predictive Index (PI) Cognitive Assessment?
The PI Cognitive Assessment, formerly known as the PLI Test, is a 12-minute, 50-question exam that measures cognitive ability through verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning tasks. It’s used by employers to evaluate how quickly you can learn, solve problems, and adapt to new challenges.
Unlike the PI Behavioral Assessment, which evaluates workplace behavior, the Cognitive Assessment focuses purely on logic, speed, and decision-making under time pressure.

Sample assessment questions
PLI Practice Test
A configured aptitude test built from approved Heycademy question bank questions.
Section 1
Numerical Reasoning
Percentages, ratios, tables, charts, and business maths.
A company's monthly sales increased from $150,000 to $195,000 over 6 months. What was the average monthly percentage increase in sales, assuming it increased at a constant rate?
Show answer
Correct answer: 4.5%
Using compound growth formula: Final = Initial × (1 + r)^6 → 195,000 = 150,000 × (1 + r)^6 → (1 + r)^6 = 1.3 → 1 + r = 1.3^(1/6) ≈ 1.043 → r ≈ 4.3%.
Using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) formula EOQ = sqrt((2 × Demand × Ordering Cost) / Holding Cost), where annual demand is 10,000 units, what is the EOQ?
A company orders 10,000 units of a product at $15 per unit. The holding cost per unit per year is $2, and the ordering cost per order is $500.
Show answer
Correct answer: 2,236 units
EOQ = sqrt((2 × 10,000 × 500) / 2) = sqrt(5,000,000) ≈ 2,236 units.
Section 2
Verbal Reasoning
Reading comprehension, inference, statements, and arguments.
A manager states that employees who work overtime are more productive. What assumption underlies this statement?
The manager believes overtime work correlates with higher productivity.
Show answer
Correct answer: Working longer hours directly increases productivity.
The assumption is that longer working hours (overtime) lead to increased productivity, which may not always be true.
What assumption underlies the argument that increasing the minimum wage will reduce poverty?
The argument states that raising the minimum wage will provide low-income workers with more money, which will reduce poverty levels.
Show answer
Correct answer: Employers will not reduce employment levels in response to higher wages.
The argument assumes that employers will not cut jobs or reduce hours when wages increase; otherwise, the intended poverty reduction might not occur.
A policy mandates that all employees must complete a cybersecurity training course annually. Which assumption is this policy based on?
The policy aims to reduce cybersecurity risks through training.
Show answer
Correct answer: Regular training will reduce the likelihood of security breaches.
The policy assumes that annual training effectively lowers security risks; if training does not impact behavior, the policy would be ineffective.
Section 3
Logical Reasoning
Patterns, sequences, arrangements, and abstract logic.
If all employees who work on Project X must attend the Monday meeting, and John does not attend the Monday meeting, what can be concluded about John?
Show answer
Correct answer: John does not work on Project X
Since all employees working on Project X must attend the Monday meeting, and John does not attend, John cannot be working on Project X.
Given the symbols: '^' means 'and', 'v' means 'or', and '~' means 'not', which of the following is the negation of the statement 'P ^ Q'?
Apply the negation to the conjunction using symbolic logic rules.
Show answer
Correct answer: ~P v ~Q
The negation of 'P and Q' is 'not P or not Q' by De Morgan's law, which is '~P v ~Q'.
If the symbol '@' means 'implies', and the statement 'A @ B' is false only when A is true and B is false, what is the truth value of 'X @ Y' if X is false and Y is false?
Symbol '@' means logical implication: true unless true implies false.
Show answer
Correct answer: true
Implication is false only when the antecedent (X) is true and the consequent (Y) is false. Here X is false, so 'X @ Y' is true regardless of Y's value. Hence, option A is correct.
