What the VMI measures?
The VMI scales have been selected not only for their relevance to the workplace
but on the basis of a thorough review of those values which have been identified
in previous research as being important determinants of behaviour at work.
These cover three broad areas, Interpersonal, Extrinsic and Intrinsic.
Interpersonal values are those which influence an individual’s approach
to relationships with others. Extrinsic values and motives are factors
which could sustain behaviour in the workplace. Intrinsic values and motives
relate to personal beliefs and attitudes which could guide an individual’s
decisions in respect of everyday problems.

VMI reports
VMI reports consist of a profile and narrative formats written in the second
or third person. The reports have been written in a style which makes them
ideal to give directly to the respondent. GeneSys reports can combine the
VMI with the results of others measures to provide a single integrated report
