- Though PBIs have become widely accepted as the best practice in executive evaluation, there is a limit to how much the methodology can tell you about an individual (approximately 25–30 percent of variance in performance).
- While they represent a significant advance from early interview techniques, PBIs are not the magic bullet that they have been purported to be.
