    Independent. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by McKinsey & Company. 'PEI' is the name McKinsey uses for its personal experience interview; our prompts are modeled on publicly described formats and are practice prompts, not live interview questions. Scores are our own, not McKinsey's.
