A Performance Model is a snapshot of the preferred traits for a given job. It shows the position ranges for each Thinking Style (cognitive abilities) and Behavioral Traits scale. For example, it will indicate whether the job calls for a more urgent or steadier pace. When reviewing a candidate’s PXT Select assessment results, you will quickly be able to see whether the candidate falls within or outside the job range.
 
The Performance Model also indicates how the candidate’s interests align with the position. The greater the degree of alignment between the individual’s top three interests and the top three interests in the Performance Model, the higher the candidate’s percent fit to the interest.
 
Essentially, the Performance Model puts a candidate’s scores in context. Each candidate should be compared to the Performance Model that most closely corresponds to the position for which he or she is applying. PXT Select has an expanding library of Performance Models as well as the flexibility to let a user create a new Performance Model. Each library Performance Model has been tested to ensure that it reflects the range of people who have been successful in that particular job.
