What is the Hogan MVPI?

The purpose of the Hogan MVPI is to give employers a better understanding of what makes you tick and drives you to succeed. In other words, this assessment can tell whether you are a right fit for the role/company, while also predicting your level of job satisfaction and potential for success within the company.

How is the MVPI Scored?

Like many other Hogan assessments, the MVPI is generally scored comparing your results to those of a normative group matching your profession. Normative or “norm” scores show where you fall on the spectrum of desirable traits compared to previous candidates. A percentile score is also given for each trait being evaluated to show whether your score is low, below average, above average, or high compared to others who have previously taken the test. For example:
