PXT Select® Non-Cognitive Assessment
The Insight You Need with the Flexibility You Want
With the PXT Select® Non-Cognitive assessment, you can choose to evaluate job-fit based on soft skills and cultural fit while benefiting from the same scientific rigor that the full PXT Select assessment is known for.
The PXT Select Non-Cognitive assessment measures behavioral traits and interests. As the name suggests, it doesn’t measure cognitive ability. As a result, it is shorter and simpler compared to the full version of the PXT Select assessment.
What Is the PXT Select Non-Cognitive Assessment?
The PXT Select Non-Cognitive assessment measures how well an individual fits specific jobs in your organization based on their behavioral traits and interests.
The PXT Select Non-Cognitive assessment works well when hiring and selecting candidates in situations where cognition has already been pre-established or when the cognitive ability is not a requirement at the point of hiring. Organizations can also use the assessment for onboarding, coaching, strategic workforce planning, and much more.
How Does It Work?
Create Benchmarks for Success
Our team of experts helps you develop performance models for the jobs you need to fill. A performance model is a benchmark you will compare individuals against to establish the degree of job fit.
Assess for Job Fit
The HR administrator or hiring manager schedules candidates online. Candidates receive a link and can complete the assessment online.
Receive Actionable Data
The system instantly scores the assessment and sends the requested reports to the hiring manager and anyone else who would like to view them. The reports will show the comparison between the Performance Model and your candidate’s personality traits. This will establish the degree of job fit. The hiring manager uses these results to screen the candidate or assist in the process of interviewing, selecting, and onboarding.

Behavioral Traits
This portion of the assessment measures a person’s key tendencies and preferences. Learn, for example, if a candidate tends to be cooperative and work within the rules or if they tend to set their direction and act independently.
1 - ENTERPRISING
An enterprising interest suggests the enjoyment of leadership, presenting ideas, and persuading others. Individuals with this interest may desire responsibility and exercise initiative, ambition, and resourcefulness.
2 - PEOPLE SERVICE
A people service interest suggests the enjoyment of collaboration, compromise, and helping others. It may indicate a strong sense of empathy and support and a knack for bringing people together.
Interests
This section helps predict motivation and potential satisfaction with a given job. The more their interests align with what the job requires, the more they will enjoy it. This is critical because we know that people who are happier in their jobs are more productive, more effective, and more engaged.
