The Predictive Index (PI) or "PI Behavioral Assessment" is a skill and behavior assessment test used by organizations to aid in the understanding of how individuals will likely deal with employment situations and managerial styles.

A skill is the ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both.

Skills can often be divided into domain general and domain-specific skills.

Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.

Expert is defined differently in varying academic fields.

Psychology defines an expert using superior performance; sociology considers that expertise is a label given to an individual by a group and is interested in the power held by experts; philosophy stresses the kind of knowledge held by experts but not novices.

Informally, an expert is someone widely recognized as a reliable source of or skill whose faculty for judging or deciding rightly, justly, or wisely is accorded authority and status by peers or the public in a specific well-distinguished domain.

An expert, more generally, is a person with extensive knowledge or ability based on research, experience, or occupation and in a particular area of study.

Experts are called in for advice on their respective subject, but they do not always agree on the particulars of a field of study.

An expert can be believed, by virtue of credential, training, education, profession, publication or experience, to have special knowledge of a subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially (and legally) rely upon the individual's opinion.

Historically, an expert was referred to as a sage (Sophos).

The individual was usually a profound thinker distinguished for wisdom and sound judgment.

A consultant (from "to deliberate") is a professional who provides expert advice in a particular area such as security (electronic or physical), management, education, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing (and public relations), finance, engineering, science or any of many other specialized fields.
