The inside of personality

The Motives, Values, 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.
