Intrinsic Motivation Inventory: Motivators Self-Assessment
Are you experiencing a loss of drive and passion for your work? Do you feel uninspired or uninterested in what once seemed important? It might be time for a strategic tune-up. The Motivators Self-Assessment puts power back in your hands by giving you strategic clarity about your inner drive. Take the intrinsic motivation inventory and discover your code to sustaining peak performance.
Energy and The Motivation Gap
All of us have some awareness of what moves and motivates us. Unfortunately, circumstances rarely provide opportunities that perfectly match our hearts' desires. So we learn to compromise—one partially satisfying choice at a time—and gradually run out of energy and meaningful motivation to pursue uniquely meaningful goals in life. When our choices and actions suboptimally align with our worldviews and core values, we lose drive and interest in moving forward.
A sense of stagnation, while sometimes unpleasant, is a telling sign that something needs to change. Taking an intrinsic motivation inventory is a first step in finding a breakthrough from stagnation and gaining clarity about a forward direction.
Are you curious about what's possible when your actions and choices align with your values and motivators? Book a one-on-one Motivators Assessment & Coaching Debrief session to unlock the code of your intrinsic motivators. In this session, you will learn how to activate the power of your intrinsic motivators to mobilize your energy in ways that create a profound breakthrough - no matter what you are looking to accomplish.

Why Intrinsic Motivation Matters?
Intrinsic motivation plays a crucial role in fostering long-term engagement and satisfaction in both personal and professional contexts. It stems from an internal desire to achieve, learn, and grow, rather than from external rewards or pressures. When leaders are intrinsically motivated, they are more likely to perform at their best as they pursue goals that resonate with their values and interests.
This authentic drive leads to enhanced creativity, resilience, and overall productivity, allowing for deeper connections to tasks and a greater willingness to tackle challenges. Ultimately, nurturing intrinsic motivation cultivates an environment where individuals feel empowered to innovate and thrive, contributing not just to their own success but also to the collective advancement of their teams and organizations.
Extrinsic motivation, while sometimes important, cannot simply replace intrinsic motivation because it does not account for who we are as a person. Instead, imagine having a better self-awareness and clarity of:
Your core drivers, needs, desires, and natural attractors (things or concepts we naturally feel drawn toward)
The measure and relative importance of each intrinsic driver for you
Internal agreements and conflicts between your core drivers - and what to do about them
Self-motivation strategies tailored specifically to your motivators profile and your pathway to personal mastery
Your inner KPIs developed to reflect and track what is truly important to you.
Seven Core Motivational Drivers
The Motivators Assessment examines the strengths of our seven core drivers and how they manifest in our behaviors, values, worldviews, and decisions. It combines the research of Dr. Eduard Spranger and Gordon Allport into an in-depth tool that reveals the individual's inherent motivational drivers.
The assessment examines seven dimensions of motivation that filter and guide our behaviors and decisions. While we can explore each motivation individually because they can be distinguished as different motivational dimensions, these drivers work as an inner system and cannot be fully separated. All motivators integrate uniquely to influence us.
Aesthetic – a drive for balance, harmony, and form
Economic – a drive for economic or practical returns
Individualistic – a drive to stand out as independent and unique
Power – a drive to be in control or wield influence
Altruistic – a drive for humanitarian efforts or to help others selflessly
Regulatory – a drive to establish order, routine, and structure
Theoretical – a drive for knowledge, learning, and understanding
The Motivators Assessment illuminates a person’s default mindsets, patterns of action, preferred ways of being, and likely choices (and trade-offs) in life. Knowing their Motivators profile can help leaders better use their focus and energy. Similarly, getting the intrinsic motivation right plays a key role in developing high-performance teams.
