The ETS® Personal Potential Index (ETS®) PPI — How It Works
Convenient and Easy-to-Use Web-based Evaluation System
ETS® PPI Steps at a Glance for Applicants
| 1. | Log in to your ETS PPI account to begin the process or track evaluations. |
| 2. | Provide contact information for the evaluators you would like to complete an ETS PPI evaluation. |
| 3. | ETS sends an email to each evaluator inviting them to access the ETS PPI system and complete your evaluation. |
| 4. | Each evaluator logs in to the ETS PPI system to rate you on six personal attributes and provide an overall evaluation. Evaluators also may provide optional comments for each attribute as well as for the overall rating. |
| 5. | You are notified when each of your evaluations is completed. Once all of your evaluations to be included have been completed, you can log in to the ETS PPI system and select the institutions that you wish to receive your ETS PPI Evaluation Report and the evaluations that are to be included in each report. Up to five evaluations can be included in each report. |
| 6. | ETS creates an evaluation report and sends it to the institutions you have designated. View a sample Report |
