The Core Values Index is the only human assessment test using strategic and tactical values in a word-choice format. It reveals the innate nature of a person and their core motivational drivers. Core motivational drivers dictate the behaviors and desired work that develops self-esteem, causing people to subconsciously seek work offering an opportunity to make their highest contribution possible. The difference between the CVI and other tools is the CVI measures innate preference (suitability) rather than ability or adaptability. It identifies what fulfills someone about the work they do, rather than determines whether or not they are capable of doing the work. Resume review and skills-testing take care of the capability component. The CVI handles the critical suitability component. The CVI provides a 97% repeat-score reliability, year over year. Other assessments typically provide reliability between 60% and 80%.
