The Applicant Potential Inventory (API) is distributed by FifthTheroy LLC based in Chicago, USA [2025. It was formerly published by Pearson Reid, London House, UK [2006]. The API was initially created in the 1980s.

It is one of 400 proprietary assessments, as well as other assessments built on demand by FifthTheory, designed to measure personality dimensions in the workplace, including those relevant to jobs in security and healthcare.

=Assessment=
The API is derived from another assessment called PSI (Personal Selection Inventory), also published by FifthTherory, but doesn’t include specific dimensions such as math or risk avoidance.

API measures 11 traits which are the following:
