Frequently asked questions
How to figure out what motivates you?
“Living an inspired life in line with one’s beliefs and values, and when one is engaged in work that is purposeful and meaningful, motivation naturally occurs,” - John Fendley.
To find what motivates you, you have to do some self-examination, self-reflection, and get honest about how you’ve gotten to where you are and how you will get to where you want to go next. The easiest way is to use the motivational assessment tool.

What is a motivational test?
A motivational assessment tool is a test that helps one understand what makes one act in a certain way and make a decision while fulfilling various tasks. It's about evaluating an individual's interests, desires, and preferences and using this information to know what drives them to commit to some strategies and not others.
Such assessments examine what your sources of motivation are. The feedback may challenge some of your assumptions about yourself and how you work, and it may be very helpful to your making changes or adapting your behaviors accordingly.
What is the difference between values and motivations?
Values determine ideals, principles, morals, and conduct. They serve self-exploration, self-enhancement, and self-recognition.
Motivation is a willingness to act. It is what makes a person act in a certain way and make specific decisions.
Different types of values dictate incentives in motivation. When one’s motivation and values work together it means that a person enjoys the process (motivations) and it feels important (value).
One of the ways to find out one’s values is to take the PVQ Schwartz test which is a self-report questionnaire. It is based on Schwartz’s theory of basic values that outlines the importance of core values in life.
What is the motivation assessment scale?
The Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS) is a tool used to assess an individual's level of motivation in various areas of their life. It is typically used in clinical settings to evaluate motivation for treatment and track progress over time. The MAS is a self-report measure.
