What PXT Select® Measures and How It Supports Hiring
.svg)
PXT Select® is a pre-employment assessment that compares candidate characteristics with role requirements. It provides structured information about thinking style, behavioral traits, and occupational interests to support interviews and talent decisions. Assessment results should be considered alongside job-related experience, qualifications, structured interviews, and other relevant evidence—not used as the sole basis for an employment decision.
PXT Select® measures candidate attributes and compares them with role requirements. It evaluates qualities that influence effectiveness and productivity, including thinking and reasoning style, behavioral traits, and occupational interests. The assessment identifies individual strengths and development areas to provide a complete profile. Results can support placement, promotion, self-improvement, coaching, succession planning, and job description development.
PXT Select® reports are available in multiple languages and may include structured interview questions, coaching considerations, job-match information, graphs, role profiles, and candidate or employee descriptions. Organizations should confirm the report and language options available for their account and intended use.
How the PXT Select® Assessment Works
A PXT Select® assessment is needed for each candidate that you want to evaluate. Candidates are assessed on the following core skills:
- Verbal Skill and Reasoning
- Decisiveness
- Numerical Skill and Reasoning
- Dependability
- Verbal
- Independence
- Numerical
- Objective Judgment
- Adaptability
- Energy
- Sociability
- Assignment
For every candidate taking the assessment online, the employer will have access to 12 reports at no additional cost. In order to maximize the assessment’s precision with the fewest number of questions, the PXT Select® assessment uses computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and results are available within a few hours of the candidate taking the test.

The Multiple Positions Report compares a candidate or an employee for multiple positions. This report will help you identify where a candidate will best fit within your organization.

The Performance Model Report will help you understand the scores and the behaviors associated with the position you’re trying to fill. The model developed for the position lists the desired characteristics and traits associated with the role.
Team Report
The Team Report is a very useful report that helps employers evaluate how potential candidates will fit within your team. Each team member must have completed a PXT Select® assessment in order to be included in this report.
Manager–Employee Report
The Manager-Employee Report helps managers learn how they can be more effective when they’re working with their employees. The report includes a summary of the manager’s scores compared to the employee’s scores, tendencies and considerations for working together, and reflection questions to spark discussion between the manager and employee.
Individual Feedback Report
The Employer can share the Individual’s Feedback Report with the candidate after they’ve completed the assessment. The report includes a narrative summary of the candidate’s response and interpretation of the results.
Individual Graph Report
The Individual's Graph Report provides a visual representation of the candidate's results. Employers may share this report with the candidate after they complete the assessment. The report includes a summary of the candidate's results.

The Coaching Report provides a deeper understanding of an employee’s thinking-style, behavioral traits and interests related to their position within your organization. The report provides an overview of coaching that might benefit the candidate.
Managing Assessments in the Profiles Assessment Center
The Profiles Assessment Center (PAC) is Wiley’s online platform for managing assessments and reports. Authorized users can schedule assessments, create Performance Models, review meter availability, and retrieve reports. A meter is consumed when a PXT Select® assessment is scored; account access and meter availability depend on the organization’s setup.
Using PXT Select® Across Hiring and Talent Management
PXT Select® can help organizations compare candidates with role requirements, structure interviews, understand team dynamics, and inform coaching, placement, promotion, and succession discussions. The assessment provides an additional source of job-related information; decisions should still incorporate qualifications, experience, performance evidence, and consistent organizational processes.
As an authorized PXT Select® partner, JER HR Group helps organizations choose appropriate reports, interpret results, and integrate assessment findings into structured hiring, coaching, succession, and talent-management processes.
