to me vpip is more of a quick general impression of your opponent. it is really a summation of all moves (2bets, cold calls, 3bets, call 3bets, etc) over all positions. if your opponent has a vpip of 40+ you can safely assume they are pretty fishy. it would take a deeper look at each play by position to classify them further. ie, aggressive, passive, etc

[B]when assesing your own game[/B] you should focus on your rfi by position as well as your calling range by position. they are the important ingredients that make up vpip.
these can also be used to study your opponent. i have sevearal popups that break down stats by position.

for microstakes an ideal rfi by position would look like: 
ep 12%
mp 18.5%
co 25%
btn/sb 65%
this might give you an overall rfi/vpip of 30%

compared to:
ep 30%
mp 30%
co 30%
btn/sb 30%
this could give you an overall rfi/vpip of 30% as well, but we can see that their range is too loose in early position and too tight in late position.

now, if you further factor in the various precentages at each position of call 2bets, 3bet, call 3bets, limps, etc you will get VPIP. so, you can see that vpip alone isn't a good stat to measure performance.

the most important stat when assesing your game is winrate.

hope this helps
