Did you know?
PEAK Performance is just 1 assessment challenge out of 4.
The PEAK performance assessment measures aspects of your personality, work style, and experience to give P&G a comprehensive picture of your compatibility with the position, and the organization in general.
To achieve this, the PEAK performance assessment combines situational judgement, personality, leadership and motivation questions.
The test has no time limit, but it takes most people approximately 20 minutes to finish and exceeding this number significantly could have an adverse impact on your result. The questions are multiple choice, although the number of answers changes between the different questions types.
The PEAK assessment test is essential to your chances of passing the P&G hiring process, and to maximize your chances of passing it, preparation for each part is key.
Let's review the main sections of the test, including the situational judgement test, the personality questions, and the PEAK performance factors.
A situational judgement test assesses your preferred responses to typical workplace scenarios, and through your answers builds a picture of your workstyle, aspects of your personality, and your compatibility with the organization's core values.
At P&G, the situational judgement test is incorporated into the PEAK performance assessment and is used to see how close your answers are to the PEAK performance factors.
Let's go over a practice question together and see what it's all about:
You feel that your work has become repetitive and is no longer challenging you. However, you have also become quite comfortable with the way things are running. You have a review meeting with your manager scheduled in two days.
What would you do in this situation?
The Procter and Gamble PEAK Performance Assessment Leadership Questionnaire is intended to measure your leadership qualities and potential based on your answers to various professional history or preference questions. It is important to keep in mind the PEAK performance factors when answering the PEAK assessment test, and the leadership questionnaire especially.
This is what a leadership questionnaire question might look like in your PEAK assessment:
How often have other people sought your guidance in the past due to your knowledge or skills?
Motivation questions in the P&G PEAK assessment test are intended there to help understand what drives you at work, i.e. what work environment allows you to really enter your element and make your strengths shine. There are different types of motivation, and perhaps the most central distinction is between Intrinsic and Extrinsic. Keeping this in mind, try answering the question below:
What is the significance of engaging with subjects that you are interested in at work?
The Personality test is often used in the recruitment process to better understand the dominant personality traits a candidate possesses. Although many people believe there is no need to prepare for personality tests, this is a misconception. Understanding the personality traits that are required for your position and are valued by P&G can greatly help you reflect your strengths in the best way, and improve your chances of passing this stage.
In personality test questions, you will be presented with a statement followed by five options indicating how much it applies to you. For example:
There are so many small tasks to be done, on occasion I find it tempting to simply disregard them all.

Practice all of P&G's interactive assessment challenges (PEAK, SWITCH, GRID and DIGIT)
There is a common thread that connects all the various sections of the PEAK performance assessment - they aim to assess your compatibility with P&G's values and goals, and through that with your potential to succeed with the company.
The P&G PEAK performance factors are the five attributes that P&G look for in every employee, especially when applying for management positions that require leadership. They are:
When answering the Procter and Gamble PEAK performance test, you must always keep the PEAK performance factors in mind. Ask yourself - does my answer show that I am innovative? Have I shown that I have strong execution skills? Is this personality questionnaire question looking for me to emphasize leadership abilities?

The Procter and Gamble Assessment is the cornerstone of the P&G hiring process, and one of the more challenging aptitude tests out there. It is in fact a fully gamified combination of three online assessment tests - the Switch Challenge, Grid Challenge, and Digit Challenge, as well as the PEAK personality test.
Together, these give P&G a picture of your cognitive ability, your ability to manage time, what type of work environment is right for you, and basically whether or not you are right for the organization.
The Proctor and Gamble Assessment is based on the Smartpredict platform by psychometric tests company AON. What makes this platform unique is that it's adaptive, interactive, and gamified. This means that the assessments can adapt themselves live in order to get more meaningful insight into the candidate's abilities. At JobTestPrep, we have created a unique set of practice assessment tests that closely simulate the real thing.
Among the aptitude tests used by P&G hiring managers to select candidates is the P&G virtual job preview, which contains six parts that emulate various aspects of the job. If you have been invited to participate in this online assessment, visit our P&G Virtual Job Preview guide to learn more.
About 20 minutes, but it is untimed. Completing it significantly slower may affect your score.
Yes. While the PEAK Assessment evaluates your fit with P&G's values rather than testing knowledge, candidates who don't demonstrate alignment with the 5 success drivers won't advance. Failing typically results in an extended waitlist period (many candidates report 12 months) before you can reapply, making your first attempt critical.
Review P&G’s core values, practice situational judgment questions, and understand how to reflect leadership, innovation, and productivity in your answers.
P&G evaluates 5 core traits: Lead with Courage, Innovate for Growth, Champion Productivity, Execute with Excellence, and Bring Out Your Best.
Yes, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, R&D all take the same PEAK
No - the PEAK Performance Assessment does not test technical or digital skills directly. It is a behavioral assessment measuring your alignment with P&G's five success drivers: Lead with Courage, Innovate for Growth, Champion Productivity, Execute with Excellence, and Bring Out Your Best. That said, digital acumen is relevant to how you answer. P&G is a data-driven FMCG company that expects entry-level hires - especially in Marketing, Brand, and Sales roles - to be comfortable using digital tools, analyzing consumer data, and making decisions informed by technology. In the situational judgment and motivation sections of PEAK, scenarios may involve choosing between data-driven versus intuition-based decisions, or digital-first approaches to solving business problems. Candidates who reflect a mindset aligned with P&G's ongoing digital transformation tend to score more favorably on the "Innovate for Growth" and "Execute with Excellence" drivers. Preparing for the PEAK Assessment means understanding not just P&G's values in the abstract, but how those values show up in a modern, digitally-integrated consumer goods company.
