Why MPA?

Identify key personality traits in nine basic properties

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 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.

Documentation

What is the science behind MPA?

MPA is a personality test based on a rational and statistical test construct. The test was developed by Master International in Denmark, where psychologists, psychometricians and data experts ensure the quality of the test at a high international level.

The MPA has a vast number of national standards as well as a common Asian and international standard.

British Psychological Society’s Psychological Testing Centre (PTC) has reviewed and certified the English language version. This version of MPA has been acknowledged with a quality stamp for meeting the industry standards for test quality – e.g., as defined by the British Psychological Society. Extensive documentation has been performed to provide evidence of reliability and validity.

To ensure the highest quality, CORE is developed based on ITC, APA, EFPA, and AERA standards and guidelines. CORE therefore meets the highest international standards for professional tests. Extensive documentation has been performed to provide evidence of reliability and validity.

Validity
  • Criterion validity: correlation with performance on the job (r = 0.42-0.44).
  • Construct validity: MPA correlates with NEO PI-R (median r = 0.61) and MPA correlates highly with Gordon Personal Profile Inventory (median r = 0.75).
  • Content Validity: approved by a panel of subject matter experts.
  • Face validity: approved by expert panel group.
  • Differential Item Functioning (DIF): no significant DIF found. Indicating that MPA performs equally well across different groups.
Reliability
  • Cronbach´s Alpha: mean α = 0.84.
  • Test-retest correlation: median r = 0.83.
  • Equivalence reliability: median r = 0.84.
