Uses of the Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory

The individual

The MVPI assists career decisions by identifying the values and motives that are most important to the individual and can define the job type, the team climate or the corporate culture in which they are most likely to flourish.

The team

The MVPI is ideal for team profiling and for mapping team dynamics. The MVPI profiles of team members indicate where values and priorities converge and contribute to team climate; they can also show where there is diversity and where there are opposing factions that may be a potential source of conflict.

The organisation

The MVPI supports culture surveys that reflect the actual values 'on the ground' in contrast to the desired values of mission statements, company literature and websites. By segmenting the organisation according to managerial seniority, region, branch, department, function or product, and generating composite MVPI profiles for each segment, a detailed map of corporate culture throughout the organisation is obtained.

The MVPI is the only commercial psychological inventory that has the capacity to evaluate person-organisation fit across such a comprehensive taxonomy of motives and values.
