Downloading a candidate’s Cognitive Report

This article applies to users with cognitive access in the PI2 platform.

Want to share a candidate’s cognitive results outside of the PI software? You can do so by downloading the candidate’s Cognitive Report.

What is the Cognitive Report?

The Cognitive Report is a PDF document containing information about a candidate’s PI Cognitive Assessment (“CA”) results.

When a candidate completes the CA, two versions of their Cognitive Report will populate in the software: the full report and the simplified report.

Full report

The full Cognitive Report provides a readout of all cognitive data on the candidate. This data includes:

The Cognitive Target set for the job
The candidate’s cognitive score, and a visual representation of where that score sits relative to the target
A summary of the candidate’s cognitive fit (either Strong, Moderate, or Cautionary)
The candidate’s cognitive subscores across three categories: Verbal, Numeric, and Abstract Reasoning

Simplified report

The simplified Cognitive Report provides a more limited readout of a candidate’s cognitive data.

In this version of the Cognitive Report, only the candidate’s cognitive score is made visible.

Everything else—the Cognitive Target, cognitive fit, and subscores—are hidden.

How to download the Cognitive Report

Select Hire from the top navigation bar.
You will land on the Hiring Center.

FAQs

Why are there two versions of the Cognitive Report?

Cognitive data is an extremely sensitive piece of candidate information. We provide two different versions of the Cognitive Report to give you flexibility in deciding what data you’re comfortable including.

Generally speaking, we strongly recommend keeping any candidate cognitive data strictly within your hiring team.

The “Cognitive Report” option is greyed out. Why?

There are three main reasons the option may be greyed out.

A Cognitive Target has not been set for this job.
This candidate has not been sent (or has not completed) the PI Cognitive Assessment.
You do not have access to view cognitive data. To get access, reach out to your cognitive admin.

Is it possible to view cognitive subscores directly in the software?

Yes. You can find cognitive subscores on the Cognitive Target Fit page, accessible via the Job Fit tab for a particular candidate.

Directly underneath the candidate's cognitive score, you'll see an expandable section titled "Cognitive Subscores."

Expand that section, and you'll see a breakdown of each subscore based on the number correct, missed (i.e., incorrect), and unanswered.
