Description

The Position Classification Inventory (PCI) allows you to assign Holland Summary Codes to any position or job class in your organisation. The PCI enables employees to use their SDS results to locate and explore matching current and future openings within their firm; analyses positions within an existing job classification system to determine whether different positions belong in the same job class; assesses the degree of match between worker and job; and provides an understanding of employee and supervisor perceptions of a specific position.

The PCI also helps counsellors to analyse a client’s current job, assess person-job match, and clarify vocational problems; increase a client’s understanding of their current job situation; and provide a structure for locating future career possibilities.

Administration and Scoring 

A worker, supervisor, or job analyst may complete this 84-item inventory in 10 minutes. They describe the demands, skills, and personal styles and characteristics required in a position by rating each item on a 3-point scale. Respondents record their answers on a separate 2-part carbonless answer sheet, which incorporates the scoring key and profile grid. You may score the PCI in about two minutes and then plot the scores to obtain a RIASEC profile of the job
