Introduction
The Personal Inventory Assessment (PIA) is an assessment used to gain a greater understanding of one’s own abilities, preferences, and strategies.

The PIA consists of five assessments: Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Style, Managing Interpersonal Conflict, Influencing Strategies, and Work motivation.
