CIP and US Presidential Elections

The American electorate intuitively senses the phenomenon of complexity of information processing (CIP) in political candidates. Without exception, American voters elected the presidential candidate with higher CIP, or current potential, in the cases studied. When current potential proved equal, the candidate with higher future potential (the younger of the two) emerged victorious. When current potential and future potential were even, as was the case of Bush versus Gore, 2000, the closest vote in election history resulted.

What People are Saying

We have just re-structured our organization to reflect the Talent Pool Evaluation work we with PeopleFit in the Fall. The information has been invaluable in identifying high potentials as well as some talented employees that we needed to utilize more effectively. We also used the progression charts and information to staff a special project team we deployed to a sister plant on the West Coast for a critical project and then absorbed the team members back into positions on the East Coast that best used their talents in a way that added value to the organization. Our decisions were guided by PeopleFit’s three point model which includes their cognitive capability, their education and experience, their preferences and their strengths- what a win for everyone!
