Many consultants know the value that behavioral tools can bring to their work, and they often look for assessments that offer deeper insights and stronger business relevance. Behavioral assessment tests vary in what they measure and how the results can be applied, which creates a valuable opportunity for consultants to choose an instrument that truly supports their goals and their clients’ needs.
PDP Global was built with that opportunity in mind. It provides a functional behavioral assessment designed specifically for business, backed by decades of research and real-world results. The PDP People Management System offers actionable insights that help organizations hire more effectively, develop confident leaders, and strengthen team performance.
Here are three key ways PDP delivers unique value and why so many business consultants and aspiring PDP representative partners choose it as a core part of their work.
Difference #1: PDP Delivers Business-Ready Accuracy
Many behavior assessment tools are designed to support personal growth and self-awareness, which has its place in development work. PDP Global expands on that value with a system created specifically for organizational use. Backed by decades of research and data dating to 1986, PDP delivers a high level of accuracy that helps leaders and consultants make confident decisions across the entire employee lifecycle.
Why PDP’s accuracy stands out
- One of the largest behavioral validation samples in the industry
- Independent, third-party studies confirming consistent, reliable results
- Verified to predict job performance, not just describe personality
- Legally approved for use in hiring and compliant with federal guidelines
- Proven to have no disparate impact or bias, meeting EEOC requirements
- Research showing results remain stable and dependable over time
Why this matters for reps
- Stronger trust in client consultations because the insights are scientifically sound
- Less pushback from skeptical leaders who want data, not generic personality descriptions
- Easier sales conversations because clients quickly see that the results reflect real behavior
- Better outcomes in hiring, leadership, team alignment, and retention because the data is accurate
Difference #2: PDP Measures More of What Actually Matters at Work
Business consultants often need insights they can take straight into coaching sessions, hiring conversations, and team meetings. The PDP Global system delivers that kind of practical detail by measuring the factors that directly influence how someone performs and contributes inside an organization.
What PDP measures
- Behavioral drives that explain how a person naturally takes action
- Energy levels and energy style, which reveal capacity
- Satisfaction and stress indicators to identify burnout risk or pressure points
- Leadership style, highlighting how someone influences others
- Motivators that show what keeps a person engaged and performing
- Job fit, helping determine how well someone aligns with a specific role
These insights are delivered through in-depth reports that are incredibly easy to understand. Instead of overwhelming clients with theory, PDP presents clear visuals and straightforward language that leaders can act on immediately.
Why this matters for reps
- Provides richer, more actionable content for coaching, hiring, leadership development, and team improvement
- Helps consultants address a wide range of people challenges with a single behavioral assessment test
