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.

The MVPI is given as part of a bundle of Hogan tests. The most common tests given with it are the Hogan HPI, the Hogan HDS, and in technical/business positions the Hogan HBRI. In some cases, usually for leadership and management positions, you might also receive the Hogan Judgment Assessment.
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.

Practicing for your MVPI helps to familiarize you with the concepts and format of the actual test, thus giving you an advantage over other candidates who have not prepared in advance.
