MVPI
Motive,Values, Preferences, Inventory
The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) is a personality inventory that reveals a person’s core values, goals and interests. Results indicated which type of position, job and environment will be most motivating for the employee and when he/she will feel the most satisfied.
Organizations can use this information to ensure that a new hire’s values are consistent with those of the organization. The MVPI can also help diagnose areas of compatibility and conflict among team members. Core values are part of a person’s identity. Consequently, they are a person’s key drivers - they are what a person desires and strives to attain.
Whether you are implementing an organizational assessment processes or enhancing your executives’ development, the MVPI reports can help you identify the fundamental factors that distinguish personalities and determine career success.
