PVQ
Personality and Values Questionnaire
A comprehensive occupational assessment that measures both personality traits and core work values — building on the foundations of the 15FQ+ while extending insight into motivational drivers.
Personality Meets Values
The PVQ is a comprehensive occupational assessment that measures both personality traits and core work values. It builds on the theoretical foundations of the 15FQ+ while extending insight into motivational drivers and values.
This combination provides a comprehensive view of how people typically think, feel and interact in ways that may be productive or counter-productive — giving organisations a deeper understanding of both what a person is like and what drives them.
By capturing values alongside personality, the PVQ helps organisations understand not just behavioural style but also cultural fit, engagement potential and what motivates individuals to perform at their best.
