Motivators Assessment FAQs
How does the Motivators Assessment compare to other assessments?
Where Strengths-based assessments (such as Gallup’s CliftonStrengths) measure talents (what we’re good at), and Personality-based assessments (such as DISC, Color Code, etc.) help you understand how you interact with others (who we are), motivators show you what you’re passionate about, what you enjoy at work, and what really drives you—at a very detailed level.
Do motivators change?
Yes! The Motivators Assessment measures what’s most important to you in your work right now. What’s important today may not be as important in the future. While some motivators may remain constant throughout our lives, other motivators can change frequently.
How often should I take the Motivators Assessment?
It depends. Typically, most individuals check the assessment a couple of times a year. However, as new events in our lives and jobs occur it could change our motivators more rapidly.
Do I have to be a working adult for this to work?
No. While the Motivators Assessment was built to help working adults, many of the concepts are universal. As such, individuals who are not in the workforce will still benefit. Thousands of students and teenagers have taken the assessment and found it very confirming and insightful.
What languages is the Motivators Assessment available in?
The Motivators Assessment is currently available in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and Turkish, with more languages coming.
