Hogan Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI)

The Hogan Motivations, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) measures and individuals core values, motives, and drivers. The MVPI can be used to identify the fit between a potential employee and the organisational or team culture.

The MVPI is designed to evaluate the fit between an individual and the organisational culture. Culture fit is an important factor to consider as no matter how capable or hard working and individual, if their values do match that of the organisation they are unlikely to perform in that organisation.

The MVPI can also be used to directly assess and individual’s key drives and motivation be that money, security or fun. This information can used to ensure that the individual will be suited to the nature of a role. E.g. A high pressure commission based sales role, is likely to suit an individual that is motivated by financial gains but is unlikely to sit well with someone motivated by security.

The MVPI assesses ten scales which were developed around five themes: lifestyles, beliefs, occupational preferences, aversions and preferred associates.
