The motives, values, and preferences inventory (MVPI) is used to identify the motives and values most important to an individual. Understanding the personal values of the individuals who make up a team can be useful in understanding the team dynamics and help a manager build and sustain teamwork within the organization.
- Refer to the 10 core values (listed on the right) evaluated on the MVPI.
- Rank order the traits according to the value you assign to them, with 1 being the trait you value the most in a team member and 10 being the trait you value the least.
- Explain the rationale for your ranking. Give an example of each trait drawn from your experience or observations.
