What is MPA?

MPA 

MPA is an occupational personality test developed by psychologists. It assesses and describes behaviour in nine basic properties e.g. achievement orientation, emotional control and abstraction orientation. These are are divided into three main areas:  

  • ego drive
  • social factors
  • work style

In addition to the nine basic properties, there are a number of supplementary properties that are based on a combination of the basic properties. These describe factors such as independence, initiative and motivation.

Test results are conveyed in clear reports designed to suit different needs e.g. Interview Guide and Manager Report.
