Interpreting Your Hogan MVPI Results

INTRODUCTION

The Hogan Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory, or MVPI, describes personality from the inside — the core goals and drivers that determine what we desire and what motivates us. As leaders, it is critical for us to have these insights because our values drive our behaviors, aspirations, and expectations, and they determine leadership style, unconscious biases, and alignment with organizational culture. Drawing from Hogan’s MVPI, the Values report shines light on the type of work environment you create as a leader.
