Motives, Values & Preferences Inventory (MVPI)
Work | Career Assessments | Values |
The Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) describes personality from the inside-the core goals, values, drivers, and interests that determine what we desire and strive to attain. By assessing values, you can understand what motivates candidates to succeed, and in what type of position, job, and environment they will be the most productive.
ASSESSMENT SCALES
The MVPI includes the following scales:
- Recognition: Wanting to be known, recognised, and appreciated
- Power: Wanting to be in control, to succeed, and create a legacy
- Hedonism: Wanting fun, variety, excitement, and pleasure
- Altruistic: Wanting to help, serve, and encourage others
- Affiliation: Wanting frequent and varied social contact
- Tradition: Believing in personal customs, duty, hard work, and respect for authority
- Security: Need for predictability, structure and order
- Commerce: Interest in money, profits, investment, and business opportunities
- Aesthetics: Need for self-expression, wanting to infuse quality into the look, feel and design of work products
- Science: Enjoys research, interested in technology, and prefers data-based decisions
AREAS OF APPLICATION
The MVPI predicts optimal job performance by assessing core values and therefore provides useful insights for both recruitment and selection as well as individual development initiatives.
