"Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure" (Author: Stephen Covey).

Where a resume can trace an individual's history, and a personality profile can categorize a person by traits, only by understanding motivation can we clearly see where an individual's talents, desires and potential lie. Personal motivations in categories like temperament, aptitude and vocational interests can be identified and rated according to their intensity. By charting these motivations, we can provide an understanding of the intricacies that keep individuals happy, thriving and effective in their work.

MAPP™ (Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential) is a tool used to create more productive and efficient organizations. It is based on a comprehensive and integrated personal inventory for understanding motivation and potential…it allows employers to make the most successful employees benchmarks for others…it enables businesses to hire more thoughtfully and accurately and to build healthier and more efficient teams…it facilitates wise promotion decisions…it can target specific areas for training…it reduces turnover by accurately matching individuals to their positions. And, in turn, it helps keep employees satisfied and productive.

MAPP™ is a tool used to support growth in a personal and/or professional environment by clearly identifying an individual's unique potential. Motivational Appraisal of Personal Potential helps to identify personal motivations in several categories, including temperament, aptitude and learning style. The results can guide individuals on a career or personal path, or validate one they are already on. The assessment identifies characteristics that help to indicate a strong motivation to do, or avoid doing, certain things. For example, an individual may be capable of something, but if she/he hates it, and if it were a significant part of her/his daily responsibilities, it might undermine strengths and become a liability.

MAPP™ is a simple-to-administer appraisal system that organizes an individual's motivations into objective, quantified and intuitive formats. It requires only 20 to 25 minutes to complete over the Internet. The assessment consists of 71 sets of triads from which the individual selects options most and least preferred. Results are available in a variety of forms, including a personalized narrative report. Customized charts are included which compare the individual's personal traits with those required for specific jobs/vocations.

Components of the assessment include the measurement of an individual's:

• Interest in job content
• Temperament for the job
• Aptitude for the job
• Reasoning and thinking style
• Mathematical capability
• Language levels
• Personal style
• Personal traits
• Interpersonal & social tendencies
• Learning style
• Orientation to people
• Affinity for objects and things
• Approach to data and information

Languages currently available: English; Spanish; Polish; Swedish; German; French, and Portuguese.

MAPP™ measurements provide valuable insight (explicitly graphed and interpreted in extensive and easy-to-read narratives) that can help predict a candidate's or employee's future success in any given position. See example of a partial printout below:
